Sedona Filming Excursion | June 3rd – 7th, 2013

JWWPipe2[2]ElephantTribe.org and ElephantTribe Inspirational Films journeyed to the magic land of Sedona, Arizona to visit Joseph White Wolf. Pausing time through the camera lens, we filmed numerous rare and spontaneous interactions between nature and man. Our filming captures the awake and serene land inhabited by Native American Indians for centuries and many behind the scene moments of the sacred Native American Indian rituals. This film footage will leave you feeling like a direct participator in company with a Wisdom Keeper experiencing the magic sounds, sights, smells and vibrations of Sedona as if you were truly there.

Joshua Tree Excursion | Saturday – Sunday, May 25th – 26th, 2013

Elephanttribe.org and ElephantTribe Inspirational Films recently embraced the beauty of the epic nature filled landscape within the heart of JOSHUA TREE, CA. The ElephantTribe.org team filmed a sequence at the famous integratron, located in Joshua Tree.

The Integratron is the creation of George Van Tassel, and is based on the design of Moses’ Tabernacle, the writings of Nikola Tesla.This one-of-a-kind building is a 38-foot high, 55-foot diameter, non-metallic structure originally designed by Van Tassel as a rejuvenation and time machine. Today, it is the only all-wood, acoustically perfect sound chamber in the U.S.

From a New York Times article published on JoshuaTree400-225[1]11/24/05 – Dr. Mitchell L. Gaynor, an oncologist and clinical assistant professor of medicine at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in New York, and the author of “The Healing Power of Sound,” likens sound healing to music therapy. In “The Healing Power of Sound” he cites studies indicating that music can lower blood pressure, reduce cardiac complications among patients who have recently suffered heart attacks, reduce stress hormones during medical testing and boost natural opiates.

Sound healing is an important part of life. Elephanttribe.org explored the healing of certain natural vibrations to be able to share the idea of and importance of our wonderful human senses and all the balances of life. The Joshua tree excursion was a time where Elephanttribe.org was able to capture the complexity and power of both the desert nature and the power of sound healing.

We truly enjoyed the ear-opening experience and intend to make “sound” an important part of our inspirational movies.

Dreamcatcher (Poem)

by Henrik

A thousand arrows
in my dream
my vision
being here with you
in the secret caves
our home
transporting ourselves into
the past
a different time
happiness and peace
in the realm of paradise
painting
our path to the future
and
here we are
together again
I’m so happy
to be here with you

DEATH VALLEY | Exploring Earth and Filming Excursion | Friday, April 26th-28th, 2013

ETcouchDeathValley[2]Friday, April 26th-28th, 2013 Death Valley Exploring Earth and Filming Excursion
On April 26th, 2013 ElephantTribe.org sent a team to Death Valley, CA to capture and partake in the essence of the barren, naked topography and nature. The footage will be used as a metaphorical contrast to the hustle and bustle of active city-life for Elephanttribe.org’s newest inspirational film project, “Moon of Changing Seasons, Everything is Alive.” The excursion was loaded with hikes and true experiences with mother nature including visits to the Badwater Basin in Death Valley National Park, the lowest point in North America, with an elevation of 282 ft below sea level. On the floor of Death Valley, we also experienced the Devil’s Golf Course, a large salt pan where we hiked over large halite salt crystals.

“My Heart Soars”

The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me.

The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea,
speaks to me.

The faintness of the stars,
the freshness of the morning,
the dewdrop of the flower,
speaks to me.

The strength of fire,
the taste of salmon
the trail of the sun,
And the life that never goes away,
they speak to me.

And my heart soars.
