About Us

OUR BLUE BOAT marks our return to nature to renew our kinship with Earth and “all our relations.” The name was inspired by the lyrics of singer/songwriter Peter Mayer, who calls the earth our “beautiful blue boat home.”

We hope to inspire deep listening and re-remembering of the oneness in our collective lives. We invite you to join us.
