What if water was more than a resource? What if it was a teacher, a healer, and a bridge back to our wild selves?

Alive Waters and Find A Spring invite you to Return to the Source - a sacred gathering and auction fundraiser dedicated to restoring our relationship with the Earth’s most vital and living gift: spring water.

For generations, springs have been revered as places of vitality, spirit, and connection - yet today, many of these sacred waters are being forgotten, blocked, or polluted. Our mission is to map, protect, and celebrate natural springs, while empowering individuals and communities to reclaim their birthright to clean, wild water.

Where Your Contribution Flows

Proceeds from this auction will directly support Find A Spring’s growing movement to reconnect people to nature, protect sacred waters, and build a more resilient future.

Your donations will help us:

Educate and Inspire – Fund field trips, urban youth programs, and nature-connection experiences.
Protect and Steward Springs – Launch spring cleanup crews, offer best practices for respectful spring visits, and begin conversations around land conservation and spring protection.
Improve Access and Experience – Upgrade the Find A Spring app and website, enhance mapping tools, and expand content with new photos, videos, and resources.
Build Leadership and Community – Hire our first Executive Director, launch a membership platform, and grow our podcast and media outreach.
Empower People to Give Back – Create meaningful ways for supporters to offer their time, energy, and care to the cause.

Together, we’re not just finding springs—we’re protecting rights, restoring watersheds, and remembering our responsibility to the Earth.

Auction

Featuring art, wellness experiences, rare items, and contributions from aligned creators, this auction is more than a fundraiser—it’s a call to action, a celebration, and a ceremony.

Join us as we protect the springs, honor the waters, and remember who we are.

Let’s return to the source - together.
