A global platform connecting all dimensions of water
"We are born from water"
Born From Water is a global platform devoted entirely to water as a living system.
We bring together science, spirituality, culture, embodiment, and action to restore our relationship with water and, through that, with ourselves.
People come to Born From Water to learn with water, and give back to water.
"Water is life."
- Born from water
Why this matters now
Water crises are accelerating worldwide.
Floods, droughts, pollution, and ecosystem collapse are increasing.
At the same time, many people feel disconnected from water as a living system and from their own bodies and inner worlds.
Born From Water responds to this moment by reconnecting people to water through education, lived experience, and collective practice.
"We believe the future of humanity depends on how we relate to water."
- Born from water
Why we exist
Born From Water exists to bring all dimensions of water into one shared space
Scientific knowledge exists.
Spiritual traditions exist.
Cultural, activism, and lived practice exists.
What has been missing is a shared space where these meet, inform one another, and reach a people together.
Indigenous wisdom keepers, scientists, freedivers, artists, and protectors share one platform.
Water is the shared teacher.
"One shared teacher: water."
- Born from water

Introducing the Elemental Wheel
The Elemental Wheel cycles through four elements: Water → Fire → Earth → Air. You start with one element, fully engage, then move on once you embody its wisdom.
All four elements are needed to lead fully. Now is the time to gather.
Water is not a resource.
She is a relative. A consciousness. A home.
— Mo, founder Born From Water
Meet Your Guides
Moniek van Erven (Founder of Born From Water)
Ocean Lover · Ceremonialist · Freediver · Water therapist · Spiritual Mentor
Mo guides you and walks beside you. From a place of deep listening, lived experience, and her devotion to Water as teacher and healer. She’s hosting retreats and ceremonies across the globe. Her guidance is intuitive, grounded, and rooted in love.
Mo’s path began over two decades ago in meditation and six years ago with sacred medicine work, and it was Water that truly transformed her. Through oceans, cenotes, and tears, water softened her armor, healed her nervous system, and returned her to feeling.
She founded Oyasin, a global sanctuary for healing, guiding retreats and ceremonies across the world for leaders to help them to return to the body, the earth, the heart.
Her guidance is intuitive and loving, rooted in lived experience and years of walking with Indigenous elders, sacred medicines, and the water itself. She doesn’t teach from a method, she listens, feels, and lets the water lead.
Water is her teacher.
And so, she guides like water.
Indigenous Wisdom Keepers
You’ll sit in ceremony with elders and medicine carriers from Nahuatl, Quechua, K’iche’ and other lineages. They don’t just teach, they transmit. Their presence awakens our memory through ancestral ritual and prayer.
Guest Teachers & Elemental Guides
Our extended circle includes freedivers, breathworkers, ocean protectors, water therapists, ritualists, plant medicine guides, emotional release practitioners, vocalists, artists, dreamworkers, and embodiment practitioners.
