ORIGINS OF MAGIC WATERS
The name Magic Waters was originated by Jorge Pedret in 2022.
The name Magic comes from research carried out by Jorge on a collaborative technology called "Loom" (“Telar” in Spanish).
The name Waters comes from the 5 elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air and Eather.
The Loom is a cluster of evolving teams with different roles for each member based on the 5 elements focusing their energy on one element: Water.
Water is the element in the center that goes through the evolution of the other 3 elements Fire, Air and Earth, before it transforms back into Eather.
A Magic Water is a member who has gone many times through all the possible transformations (Fire to Air, Air to Earth, Earth to Water, Water to Eather).
A Magic Water has the power to create something from nothing, in other words, to catalyze and initiate other elements to form a new Loom from scratch.

Jorge started a few initiatives in 2021-2022 based on the Loom: Mamas Weaving and Land-Back Loom.
In May 2024, Jorge suggested using the name Magic Waters for the nature school program for children 5 to 10 years old in Sooke, to refer to a school for learning based on the elements, and it stuck.
From there, the nature school grew, and Magic Waters became the name of this community and a bigger container for a variety of offerings and programs.
