Colectivo Agua brings together people of different nationalities who follow the call of Water through aquatic arts as paths to consciousness, making it easy to experience a sense of union and connection with the source.
Colectivo Agua is in constant movement; meeting, co-creating, feeding back on each other, and listening to the messages of water. It flows like a river spreading through the mountains going where Water is calling.
