The Connectivity Project

Do you ever wonder, “Does what I do make a difference in the world?” The answer is YES, it does! Physicists, scientists and indigenous traditions all acknowledge the interconnected nature of our existence. As everything in this life is connected, every action we take has the potential to reverberate through the world as we know it.

The Connectivity Project helps to build awareness of this interdependence, encouraging a deeper understanding of the potential impact of our actions - large and small - with empowering films, engaging curriculum and a curated collection of related resources.

The Connectivity Project film series presents stories of the ripple effects of our actions, large and small, and sheds light on the interconnected nature of life, society and our very survival. This engaging project combines documentary storytelling with beautiful imagery, in-depth curriculum and a curated collection of compelling resources to inspire ways to participate intentionally towards creating a better world for ourselves and for others. These acclaimed and thought-provoking films are composed of interviews with indigenous leaders, farmers, scientists, activists and students, expanding awareness of the impact of our choices and voices.

Seeing the effects of our actions

Being immersed in the wonders of the natural world for much of my life as a botanist, herbalist, teacher and filmmaker, I have spent a lot of time observing and marveling at the intricate systems that transpire all around us. The Connectivity Project was created in order to present stories, foster conversations and inspire curiosity about the ripple effects of our actions. If indeed all of life is interconnected, it stands to reason that we have real opportunities to make a difference in our own lives and in the lives around us.

I hope you enjoy the work.

Water Flows Together

https://vimeo.com/423280539

For time immemorial, the Diné (Navajo) have considered the San Juan River sacred. Centuries-old stories and teachings connect the people with the river as it continues to serve as a physical and spiritual resource for the peoples who rely on it. Yet at the same time, economic and social barriers have kept the number of Native people recreating on the San Juan to a minimum, and trends of globalization and urbanization continue to widen the gap between many Navajo and the natural world.

Created by SpruceTone Films, Water Flows Together is told from Colleen Cooley’s perspective, exploring the ways in which her upbringing and her native identity have shaped the way she interacts with the world. The film is a meditation on the challenges Colleen and her community have faced, the unique relationship she has with the San Juan River, and the unique opportunities her role as a river guide affords as she seeks to create positive change.
