Have you ever heard of the term “wettiko”? W

Have you ever heard of the term “wettiko”?

When Native Americans encountered the destructiveness of European colonialists, it was concluded that the invaders must have a disease. Native Americans called this wettiko, which means a delusional belief that cannibalizing the life force of others is a logical and morally upright way to live, in other words, selfishness.

The Native Americans believed that wettiko derived from people’s inability to see themselves as enmeshed, interdependent parts of the natural environment. Once this disconnect has occurred, nature is no longer seen as something to be emulated but as something to be conquered. They believe that this disconnects man from all empathy and connection with nature.

Hence, native communities tell a different story of our past: that the wettiko virus prevailed and the society that emerged from this aggressive extraction still uses the promise of a utopian future to justify its wanton exploitation of people and nature in the present.

The Water Brewery believes in the diversity, equality, and inclusion of every single person on this planet. We aim for a regenerative, healing society that unifies our human qualities with nature and shares in abundance. For this reason, we agree with the philosophy of wettiko and aim to make our watershed store a place of connection where the brewing of water is also the brewing of compassion and generosity.

Do you know where your adrenals are? Do you know w

Do you know where your adrenals are? Do you know why they are important?

The adrenal glands, both of which sit atop your kidneys, have the primary function to produce hormones, which are essential to living, that regulate our metabolism, immune system, blood pressure, stress response, etc. It’s where you get your sex hormones, your cortisol, and your inflammation-calming hormones. This also includes hormones like adrenaline, which mainly helps to mitigate our response to physical and emotional stress.

Since our body’s homeostasis relies on hormone production, if they become stressed or overwhelmed, the symptoms of adrenal fatigue can be vast and varied. Too much coffee, which can heighten our sensitivity and attention, can also disrupt the adrenal balance system. Yet, research does show the positive impacts of caffeine and how one to two coffees per day can reduce the risk of heart failure.

We have the perfect combination for you that brings together the benefits of coffee and adaptogens in one: Enerhealth’s Nutricafe Coffee. Adaptogenic mushrooms can help reduce inflammation and also contain antioxidants, which can help support the immune system. Mushroom coffee also has less caffeine, which can also help people feel less anxious and sleep better.

As the sun begins to sink lower in the sky and the

As the sun begins to sink lower in the sky and the night becomes chilly and dark, our senses tell us that the energy of summer has come to an end in the northern half of the world. Fall is upon us, and with it comes crisp air, shorter days.

Equinox means “equal (equi) nights (nox)” and refers to the two times a year when day and night are of equal length and, therefore, when light and dark are poised in perfect balance. The changing seasons are key points in the cycle of life in nature, and within this cycle many ancient cultures perceived a powerful deeper message for humanity.

Fall is the time of year that we set up our internal space and make room for what’s to come in the next year. We create room for our greater visions to grow, by allowing the empty space and silence to take hold of our internal spaces. We go into hibernation and become creative, but not by doing. By becoming quiet and listening to what is trying to emerge from within us.

Winter is the time of year for rest, when the cold and freezing becomes the healing that sets the soil for Spring and our rebirth.

The significance of the Autumnal Equinox is the time of year where we activate our new cycle of growth. As we become silent and rest we are allowing space for our greater vision to emerge.

The Water Brewery celebrates this Autumnal Equinox in giving thanks to our water for it’s nourishing and healing qualities: "Gratitude is powerful medicine!"

Aquae AMORE can provide the antioxidants your brai

Aquae AMORE can provide the antioxidants your brain needs to flourish!

Your brain is busy. Even when it sleeps, it’s busy. And since it’s mostly made of fats, we need to make sure our fatty brains can function autonomically and critically.

The best thing you can do for your brain is to feed it well. Every nutrient has benefits — that’s why they’re considered nutrients — but your brain loves some more than others.

All antioxidants help to protect the brain and body against free radicals, or molecules containing oxygen and an uneven number of electrons. That instability allows them to come into contact with other molecules as they attempt to pair with other electrons. Antioxidants can donate one of their electrons without destabilizing themselves, which halts the chain reaction free radicals can begin.

Oxidative stress is what happens when there’s an imbalance between antioxidants and free radicals. Because the brain uses so much oxygen, it’s especially vulnerable to free radical attacks.

So remember to drink your alkaline water, which is naturally designed to provide your body with much needed antioxidants to combat life’s stressors and environmental toxins. Our Aqua AMORE is the perfect antidote to your busy brain!

Do you find you're losing energy as you get older?

Do you find you're losing energy as you get older? Are certain stressors weighing you down? Well, time to switch gears and embrace Positive Thinking Day!

It may seem like a fact that if you experience low energy, it means the systems that power you and protect you aren’t getting the energy they need, leaving you susceptible to an under-satisfying life, disease, and degeneration. The problem is, we think we’re supposed to be tired, so we don’t do anything to repair our energy. It's also a challenging time to be an optimist with all these complex, unpredictable issues we are facing on a global level.

Let’s change that mindset! Research has found that generating positive mental imagery can lead to increased engagement in goal-directed behavior, including exercise or completion of tasks. Higher optimism is associated with longer life span, so seeing the goodness on this planet can help us to live gratefully, softening the sting of negativity. Studies have found that an exercise involving repeatedly imagining a ‘best possible self’ can lead to increases in optimism.

Every person we come across has the power to nourish or deplete us. We can shrug off the criticism and negativity to the best of our ability, but the key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best. They will give you a radiant smile, a vibrant mind, a beautiful soul, and a hopeful disposition towards life. Youth, then, will never leave your side.

Every time you hydrate, focus on a positive image or thought. Surround yourself with bright, positive people like the Brew Crew at The Water Brewery. We provide our water with positive words, images, and music.

Set a positive reminder for yourself too, as science shows, your health depends on it!

Are you raising the vibration of your water? For

Are you raising the vibration of your water?

For centuries, people have turned to classical music for its calming and relaxing effects. Sound is one of the first senses to develop, long before sight or smell. Developing human foetuses can hear their mother’s heartbeats (and voices) in utero. And according to many spiritual traditions, we might hear the most perfect music when we die.

Perhaps this is why sound and rhythm are such universal forces: they’re some of the founding experiences of all human beings. In Hindu iconography, Shiva is holding a drum at the moment of creation; an apt image, given that contemporary science dubs the beginning of the Universe ‘the Big Bang’.

Even singing releases oxytocin into the brain and body, which in turn creates a feeling of unity, collaboration and cooperation with those around us.

Sound is about vibration, and music is about energy, which can both be felt and can therefore, be a form of healing. Musical perception, musical sensibility, musical emotion, and musical memory can survive long after other forms of memory have disappeared. Music of the right kind can serve to orient and anchor a person when almost nothing else can.

That’s also how sound heals. It’s both individual and communal.

As world-renowned water researcher Dr Emoto puts it: “You can only understand this if you think in terms of vibration; if you don’t see words as people’s inventions, but as living phenomena. I think sounds point to vibrations in nature. That’s how words came into being. Words evolved from vibrations in nature.”

Pick up cymatics stickers for your own bottles today and raise the vibration of your water! 💙🌊💦

You have a fat brain! The blubbery ball we have b

You have a fat brain!

The blubbery ball we have between our ears is, after removing water, about 60 percent fat. This fat is essential to our functioning because these fat molecules help to transmit electrical signals between brain cells. Also, our brains eat up 20% of the oxygen our bodies take in, even though the brain accounts for only 2% of our weight.

The brain has about 100 billion neurons, and each one of these neurons has a thin, double-layered membrane composed of fatty acids. Add to this the myelin sheath (a protective layer covering a nerve fiber, or axon, from a neuron), which is composed of 70% fat and 30% protein. Each neuron can have 10,000 to 100,000 of these connections with other neurons, with each fiber wrapped in a myelin sheath. You can see how these numbers can become astronomical and how the brain can be so fat. This is one time you don’t want a body part to be thin.

Even though the brain depends on fat, don’t forget that the brain is still 73% water and being even 2% dehydrated seriously affects cognition!

DHA is a polyunsaturated Omega 3 fatty acid found

DHA is a polyunsaturated Omega 3 fatty acid found throughout the body, but most abundant in the brain, eyes, and heart. These fatty acids are required to build hormones, rebuild organs, and provide structure to other tissues. The brain is the most energy demanding of all the human body organs, 60% of the dry weight of the brain consists of phospholipids, or fats. This vital nutrient helps with focus, memory, depression, and anxiety.

Through an evolutionary lens, when humans discovered seafood and other freshwater sources, this new source of Omega 3s and DHA began to play a big role in neurodevelopment: grey matter in the cerebral cortex developed and human intelligence increased.

DHA is the most important nutrient for children as their brains grow and develop. Studies demonstrate that DHA plays a huge role in infant cognitive development and the nervous system. Also, DHA contributes to the normal function of the heart and maintenance of normal blood pressure.

Synerchii’s DHA is sourced from high-quality, highly absorbable pure plant-based ingredients. It also has a great taste for those kiddies to enjoy :)

Movement of water into cells is like a microscopic

Movement of water into cells is like a microscopic Hydroelectric Dam, where ATP, our body's energy, is generated through this movement!

This process plays endlessly during the life of every cell in every organ. This constant flow of water into cells turns out to be our most significant source of ATP energy.

Researchers believe that 90% of all energy stored as ATP comes not from the breakdown of glucose, but from the hydroelectric processes in these pumps at the cell surface.

Come to The Water Brewery store and try our highly nutritious, energized BLISS WATER! It is designed through biomimicry to be the most hydrating of waters you can get your hands on!

Let’s drink to our cellular health <3

In honor of National Women’s Equality Day, The W

In honor of National Women’s Equality Day, The Water Brewery celebrates the life of Dr. Carol Patrice Christ (1945-2021), a brilliant scholar, luminary and foremother in the women’s spirituality movement. She is best known for her article “Why Women Need the Goddess: Phenomenological, Psychological, and Political Reflections,” where she boldly states: “because religion has such a compelling hold on the deep psyches of so many people, feminists cannot afford to leave it in the hands of the fathers.” In a world where “religious symbol systems (are) focused around exclusively male images of divinity … female power can never be fully legitimate.” In our plight as women to fight for our right for equality and eliminate the gender gap – whether it is the right to vote, to receive equal pay, to hold positions of influence and power – we must first question if the worldviews that we are immersed in truly undergird and support US – or not.

This picture above is an image of an ancient Cretan vessel in Greece known as the ‘Goddess of Myrtos’ dating before 2000 BCE. Despite it having been under-appreciated by mainstream scholarship, Dr. Christ explains that it was once placed on sacred altars for rituals with milk, wine, oil, and of course, water. This goddess vessel is shaped like a turtle – known to protect the life-giving properties of water – to celebrate the work of women at Myrtos, which included weaving, pottery-making, and collecting water, as well as planting, weeding, and harvesting – all roles attributed to the building of a peaceful and abundant ancient matriarchal civilization.

Let’s be inspired to learn from such matriarchal societies in herstory, and let’s learn from scholars like Dr. Christ and remember to dig deeper and question the symbols and belief systems that surround us – reflected in both the daily and the sacred – such as in something as seemingly commonplace as a vessel – so simple and yet so profound and interconnected to all of life.

May we, as wombyn, be honored and celebrated for our innate female powers always and in all ways – every day. Thank you, Dr. Carol P. Christ for sharing your light and brilliant scholarship.

Even though The Water Brewery celebrates water eve

Even though The Water Brewery celebrates water every day, we would like to give a special shout out to Stockholm's World Water Week to shine light on all water-related issues on our planet today!

Throughout the historical past, individuals have drastically engineered their environments to guarantee entry to water. Today cities use huge distribution networks to present potable water to individuals, which has led to exceptional enhancements in public well being. We view water as a dynamic resource that is as much a function of social, economic and political choices as it is a geological and hydrological reality of life.

When we now have loads of water, we overlook how essential it really is. But when water is valuable, it’s all we take into consideration.

Let’s celebrate this week with the rest of the International World to focus on water issues and see the value in such a precious resource!

“Muya” is an Atayal word from northern Taiwan

“Muya” is an Atayal word from northern Taiwan that means “to plant.”

At the Muya community center, we are planting a village of families that, like the mother trees of forests researched by Dr. Suzanne Simard, intertwine with each other and consciously share resources. Mother trees protect and build the health of the entire community as they actively transfer vital nutrients and information via an interconnected, fungi-rich web of shared roots. They also end up creating the cool, wet microclimate they each need to survive!
The Muya community center follows this model of relationship and exchange in nature by bringing together like-minded families to share our talents, enthusiasm, and resources, caring for each other and supporting each other’s development. Our community is a branch of the eco-village project, Mother Tree Sanctuary.

To build the mind, body, and spirit of each member of our community, we are offering organic, plant-based school-lunches infused with the whole-food nutrition of Health Force super-food products, nourishing families of diverse backgrounds. We also offer programming to families who want to learn together with their children in an intimate, nature-based, Waldorf-inspired environment. Working on our various projects and navigating day-to-day challenges together, we plant and co-create the village we need to support ourselves.

As we all know, non-profits do in fact profit! But

As we all know, non-profits do in fact profit! But what comes in is expected to be given back to the cause rather than funneled into the wealth of the corporation or that of its members. Progress towards the group’s social goal trumps individual financial advancement.

“Non-profit” takes on a particular resonance in the context of Mother Tree Sanctuary because we are not aiming to balance the books and break even. We are preparing a living space that will explode with abundance and in which that which might otherwise be considered as waste is valued as critical to the health of the community.

Mother trees in the forest advance the cause of the whole forest by rooting young trees to the older grove, sharing information about threatening predators or drought conditions, and redistributing sugars so that all can survive. In old growth forests, scientists and foresters have found 500-yr-old tree stumps still living, even without leaves to feed themselves, because they are looped into the mother tree system!

Proximity and interconnectedness in the mother tree system creates the conditions that all need to survive. It is not a nice add-on feature for trees to opt into; it is the condition of survival, and it requires the participation of the very young, the mature, and the seemingly dead!

As we raise money to fund a future sanctuary community where families can live in proximity to one another sharing skills, knowledge, and resources-we are fundraising to create a microclimate that promotes human growth over mere survival, generational exchange over alienation, and a collective strength capable of keeping the old, sick, and troubled afloat because we know that they have unique contributions to our environment as well.
So here is to profiting from our non-profit enterprise in the Mother Tree Sanctuary.

A person can survive weeks without food, but seldo

A person can survive weeks without food, but seldom more than a few days without water. Even mild dehydration, within hours, can affect mood, cognitive function, and physical performance, studies show.

So you may wonder...how much water should I drink every day?

Although you may have heard of the golden 8 x 8 rule — you should drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day - this recommendation is completely unfounded! In fact, nobody is sure where the idea came from, and science doesn’t support it because water loss can be highly variable. One must consider different body sizes and types, varying ambient temperature, and activity levels.

On a cool day when a person isn’t active, eight glasses of water could be “well in excess of need, in which case a lot of water will be excreted” along with vital substances like sodium. Alternatively, a person exercising on a hot day might need more than eight.

Also, you can get about 20% of your water from food as fruits and vegetables are particularly water-laden...for instance, both tomatoes and watermelon are 90% or more water.

Science does say that when you feel thirsty, your blood gets too salty, a signal picked up by specialized thirst neurons in the brain, explains Christopher Zimmerman, a grad student in neuroscience at the University of California, San Francisco.

Also, drinking too much water can be deadly. Water intoxication, called hyponatremia, dilutes the body’s salt level, causing cells to swell.

Basically the rule of thumb is that if you’ve had enough water or not enough, your body will tell you! Check your urine, if it’s not clear, then hydrate your body.

But if you need a measurement, go on average of 9 cups for women, and 12 for men (a cup = 8 oz).
