Whale Dreaming Council Event

The Whale Dreaming Council rises in response to a shared call — to reawaken our care for water, whales, and to tend to the nature of change. Rooted at the intersection of story, science, and sacred activism, the Council is strengthened through community and guided by the collective genius that emerges when we gather across sectors, generations, and traditions.

We are elders, youngers, scientists, artists, youth, activists, and guardians of land and sea — to rebuild the relational capacity required to meet this moment of transition on our planet.

The Whale Dreaming Council creates a sanctuary where dreaming is not an escape from reality, but a disciplined practice of listening for what is ours to do alone and together.

Story &
Culture Preservation

Each month features an elder who carries an ancient story of their relationship with whales. These stories are recorded and given back to their communities.

Whale Dreaming

The practice of reawakening a conscious connection between whales and humans.

Science

We will have face time with scientists who are on the front lines to learn the facts about how our waters and cetaceans are being impacted.

Artist

We will receive inspiration from artists who are engaging creative expression as a tool to educate and connect people to oceanic issues.

Sacred Activism

We will hear from citizen care takers, and professional activists to learn how we can collectively take action.

The Whale Dreaming Council is one way we gather to engage in collective action together. This is a space for creative response to be born, for deep listening regarding how to be and what is ours to do. Our online platform provides a way for organizations and individuals to learn about guardianship of our waters, for the voices of cetaceans to be amplified, and provide the space where we can stay connected, informed, and motivated.

Together we will...

Receive the old stories as they are told and transmitted through our Indigenous elders
Practice whale dreaming
Learn from scientists who help us understand the history, the health and well being of the Ocean and Cetaceans
Open to the inspiration of artists who are creating ways of healing and inspiring changes needed in these times
Share the responsibility of carrying these stories and the relationships formed through these gatherings

By joining the Whale Dreaming Council, members contribute to a living archive of ancestral whale stories and help sustain the activists and cultural leaders working on the front lines of ocean and whale protection. Membership funds ensure that these stories are heard, preserved, and shared responsibly, while also supporting those actively caring for our seas.

We invite all to offer a gift to support the launch of this journey. After experiencing the work and the community firsthand, you can then decide whether joining the Council is the right next step for you. Membership can be canceled at any time.
