David Wight

1971โ€“

David Wight was born in Bellingham, Washington in 1971. After growing up in the same area, he went away to college at Washington State University to be as far away as possible without leaving the state.

After graduating in 1994 with a Business and English degree, Wight realized he needed to buy himself a couple months before getting a job. He embarked on a backpacking trip through the Caribbean that ended up being a soul searching adventure filled with waterfalls. On the island of Dominica, he visited Trevala Falls and spent an entire day studying and experiencing the biggest falls heโ€™d ever seen, watching the patterns of the water as they would break apart and fall all the way down to the pool. The sound of the falls dissipated as he walked away and at the same time, Wight felt all of the stress of his life fall away, too. In this moment, he realized it was the sound of water that was nourishing his nervous system and healing his mind and body. After water almost took his life at age 11 during a family trip floating down a river, the moment of bliss and terror that first gave him an awareness, appreciation, and a reverence for the power of water, its beauty and its transformational qualities, David Wightโ€™s life was changed on that island.
