Fire on the Mountain: A Gathering of Shamans

Notes from the filmmakers:
Fire on the Mountain: A Gathering of Shamans is a documentary about the connection between consciousness and nature, as embodied in the spiritual traditions of Indigenous Peoples, whose ecological metaphors of the sacred are so relevant to the modern world.

About this website

This website was inspired by Fire On The Mountain, by altered states of consciousness. It was in just such a state that a friend and I were watching Fire On The Mountain. As it came towards the end of the film there was a scene where the spiritual leaders and spokespeople all started drumming together and everybody joined in. I watched and then I reached for my drum and sat down. They stopped drumming. "You missed it" said my companion. "Rewind, rewind" I said and did just that. I drummed along and then when the film ended I noticed the website address and went to have a look on the internet. The domain name was for sale and I bought it. more...

Ecuador
There were flashes in the sky
Getting closer
There was one in the room
The man of the house
Said
"Was that in here?"
"No" I lied

.......I will finish this poem soon :)
