Exploring our Social wealth in The Diversity that is waiting for us to recognise our collective belonging.

Beautiful Amy! Just reminded me of a powerful encounter I had…that speaks to this I think?

Did you see Herzog's film ‘Cave of Forgotten Dreams’?

I was studying extraordinary states (trance) at the time and had an extremely powerful shamanic jolt of how the whole cave, art and artist were integrated in the alchemical process of creating the lived reality of the tribe, using firelight and shadow play to embody the act of the hunt… the animation symbols flowing out into the world beyond the cave...

So powerful! What a deeply moving and fascinating world to explore, and it sounds like a truly magical encounter you had. Yes, I watched that documentary a few years ago (a few times, actually!). It is an incredible film, perhaps it is time for a re-watch!
