Re-living ‘The Revival’ 🌳 A glimmering day of community and collective prayer. 🐉🪽🎇 Now is the time we meet each other as fellow travelers on this road of remembrance and land connection. The native spiritual heart of the WISE Isles (Wales, Ireland, Scotland, England), though fragmented, carry the wisdom of a rich, ancient tradition — one that has been here since 32,000 BC. Though so much has been lost, there is an animate green thread that has kept this sacred connection reachable. It is a one degree pivot in perspective, from dominion to the sacred service of Life. A world where interconnected magic, mystery, and story unfolds. If you find yourself on these WISE Isles may you know that these lands are calling to you, and that you belong. We bow again to the wisdom carriers and artists that guided this beautiful and ceremonial day; held the gravitational centre that we might be still enough to listen; sang in grief and celebration for these green lands we are custodian to. 🌿🐉🌳 Directed and edited by: @benjimitchellfilm @dancinglightfilms Director of Photography: @benjawede Event curation by: @rogueriding Creative by: @gingersquirrelcreative and @millieuhlein #TheRevival #SacredLand #Awakening #AncientWisdom #VoicesOfMedicine #EarthConnection #medicinefestival #medicine #medicinemusic #animism #animisttraditions

This short film is a teaser into “The Return” A sacred journey of ancestral remembrance, reconnection, and spiritual awakening. Set in the heart of Botswana, this project brings together African medicine women, global seekers, storytellers, and ceremony, united by the call to return to the land, to truth, and to the wisdom of the natural world. A vision of Aweno. We’ve created this piece to share our vision and raise funds to complete the full documentary.

Episode 4: @aichatherese 🌳 Aicha is a powerhouse of a poet — soft and fierce and wild. In this episode of the Poetree, she brings us a stirring piece that journeys inward: a love letter to the inner child, a call to healing, and a quiet celebration of stepping into her full power. 💫 It’s tender, it’s fierce, and it’ll grow something in you. #ThePoetree #PoetrySeries #InnerChildHealing #AichaTherese #RootedInPower #PoetryThatHeals
