Hello community. I'm working on a gift for the ocean that anyone in the UK can be part of, bringing community and spiritual science and citizen science together. Feel free to be in touch. eleanorsara.com if you'd like to help or be part of the ritual.

Thank you for creating this valuable space!
In 2008 I first time swam with wild dolphins and started breathing with the whales in Azores Islands/North Atlantic. Since then I listen to their teachings The Dolphin Way and connect conscious people and families with the messages of the cetaceans, oceans, waters from the heart.
My daily prayer for the water:
Thank you for the healing of the waters inside, thank you for the healing of the waters around, thank you for healing all waters.
Thank you for the guiDance of the whales and dolphins in love.

Blessings to you all and many thanls. For sharing
In 2011 I connected with the whales and dove with them deep into the sea. After I was gifted with this song.
Bless the waters of the earth
And all her rivers too
The lakes and streams and oceans too
The y flow within love for you.
The whales and dolphins know these songs
And sound them thru the seas
And if we listen to their songs
We’ll be forever free
Ah ah ah ah ah ohm ah ah ah ah ohm
I feel the waters of the earth
They flow inside of me
In every cell I hear the call to be forever free
Ah ah ah ah ah ohm ah ah ah ohm
Our family is from the whale birthing grounds in the Tongan Ha'apai Islands. I was directed by my ancestors to this circle and it is such a divine blessing to be here with you all dreaming.
May each of us rejoice in peace and gratitude as we fall through the eye of a whale into the deep circle of Belonging.
May we all weave peace through unconditional love of all, may creation sing through our hearts just as the whales sing through their lines. Thanks be
