Water is a vital spiritual medicine, essential for cleansing and healing. It embodies a space for surrender, memory, strength, and enlightenment. All living beings depend on water to thrive, as it symbolizes life, fertility, and sustenance, as well as hardship. For many people, water is viewed as a sacred gift from the Creator.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaia originally created Waters Deep as a solo harp composition intended for a dance tribute choreographed by Laurie Goux in honor of the iconic dancer Katherine Dunham, performed in Chicago in 1996 with Dunham present at the debut.
