Glimpse of the Past
Rev Paula Henson from Navajoland joins us in Virginia
This summer we were honored to host Rev Paula Henson, Episcopal Priest in Charge at St John the Baptizer, Montezuma Creek, UT. Over an activity packed weekend in Richmond, VA, hosted by 3 Episcopal congregations, we delighted in a myriad of opportunities to connect, heal, and bridge cultures. Especially powerful, was the Healing Circle Rev Paula welcomed us all into at St Francis. As the Navajo say, "Beauty is all around us."

Our Story
ManyWaters Creative - Connected - Prophetically Conscious
ManyWaters is a creative, healing-centered ministry that inspires hope, nurtures identity, and encourages people to live in the fullness of who they were uniquely created to be. We believe that when individuals are free to express their God-given creativity and voice, communities are renewed and bridges are built.
At the heart of our mission is the desire to foster deep connection across cultures ~ particularly through spiritual and educational journeys with Indigenous peoples, whose voices, wisdom, and worldviews reveal dimensions of God’s truth often overlooked.
We believe that true learning begins with listening, and that through these relationships, our own lives are enriched, challenged, and broadened by the Spirit’s movement in diverse expressions of faith and culture. We envision a world where communities are transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit flowing through every culture and voice.
Inspired by John 7:38 — “Whoever believes in Me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” — we believe the Holy Spirit flows through every person, culture, and story, bringing life, restoration, and creative power.
As described in Revelation 14:2–3, we hear the Spirit’s voice like the sound of many waters—a new song rising from every tribe and tongue, calling us into unity, worship, and wonder.
How do we begin to heal a land that has forgotten her wounds? - We remember. - We listen to the stories buried in the soil - We honor the sacred identity of every tribe, every culture, every nation. - We choose to rebuild what was broken—together. - We make space for all voices.

FEATURED CONNECTION
Our connection story with the Diné
Our friendship with the Diné people began in 2005 through our founder, Carol's, involvement with the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona’s Native American Program Group. With that group, we first began to learn about the tribes connected to the Episcopal Church throughout the Southwest. At the time, the diocese hosted a lay- and clergy-led educational journey called Windows on the First Peoples, a five-day excursion through Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah that invited participants to engage with Indigenous history and culture while sharing meals and conversations with Episcopal congregations. That experience deeply shaped Carol's sense of values, commitments, and personal well-being. Drawn to return year after year, we eventually joined the leadership team and embraced the teachings of both The Beauty Way and The Jesus Way—principles of harmony, peace, and wholeness that continue to guide our ministry. Members of the Episcopal Church in Navajoland have welcomed us generously, and we have sought to walk alongside them wherever the Spirit opens a door.
One of the best ways we have found to do this is by creating spaces that cultivate awareness, respect, and appreciation for Navajo culture, traditions, and spirituality—a core goal of the Episcopal Church in Navajoland. Today, we support this work by facilitating retreats and pilgrimages, offering programs and exhibits, and helping to build bridges across cultures.

We are deeply grateful for these friendships and the trust extended to us, especially now that the community has embraced its new identity as: The Missionary Diocese of the Episcopal Church in Navajoland. It has been a gift to share in this journey, and we encourage others to learn more through their website:
