Water Ceremony At Commodore Park
Justice Flows Like Water
As part of the Immigrant Justice Prayer Walk, we were honored to participate in a sacred water ceremony led by Shirley Williams. In the Coast Salish traditional way, we gathered at Commodore Park and released water brought from our own homes and places of sacredness. Each of us carried this water as a symbol of our prayers, our sacrifices, and our connection to land and spirit .
Because Water Remembers.
As Indigenous peoples, we believe that water carries our prayers to Creator. With reverence, we poured our personal offerings into the water, lifting prayers for our undocumented relatives—those under attack, in hiding, or forced into silence. This ceremony was a powerful moment of collective intention, where we trusted the sacred current to carry our hopes, grief, and resistance into the heart of creation.
