“Mindful” with Cheryl Nichols Cheryl Nichols will lead the meditation using Mary Oliver’s poem “Mindful.” Cheryl notes, “this poem has helped me to have a heightened awareness of the beautiful life around me and within myself. I hope it does the same for you.” The image is a photo Cheryl took in France. | |

The Vatican and Women Deacons with Phyllis Zagano When Roman Catholic women are ordained as deacons, Phyllis Zagano will be credited with the win. Her meticulous scholarship and tireless chronicling of a process that never should have taken this much time and this much wrangling will be the documents of record. Join her for a WATER conversation about her latest publication, The Vatican and Women Deacons(Orbis Books, 2026). Insights hint at much larger issues than simply women deacons. | |

Celebrate Summer Solstice with Diann L. Neu and the WATER Community The Summer Solstice (June 21 in the Northern Hemisphere, December 21 in the Southern) is the absolute peak of solar power. This is the longest day and shortest night of the year. Nature is at the summit of its sumptuousness. This is a magical time when wishes are made and can come true. It is a significant turning point in the Wheel of the Year. Join us to celebrate! | |

Be a Part of an Action-based Community
Become a WATER Intern for 2026!
WATER welcomes students from seminaries, universities, and colleges to work in the WATER Office. Interns engage in the full range of activities at WATER, from office work to program planning. They learn how to run a small non-profit and what it takes to nurture an Alliance. Interns wishing to do their own research have a chance to utilize WATER’s constantly growing Resource Center. They work with our experienced staff on projects. Interns must commit to a minimum of six weeks and can stay for as long as a year or more. Participants are encouraged to apply for academic credit from their home institutions for their work at WATER. We are delighted to work with programs which sponsor volunteers with expenses shared by WATER as the on-site placement.
