After very productive and interesting 9 months our film BALTIC HEALING was born!
You can watch the film here: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/baltichealing
It is about the healing traditions of Old Europe that the people of the Baltic States have preserved and are practicing till today. We wanted to give English and German speaking people an insight into the Baltic culture.
The film focuses on the history of the traditions as well as the traditional sweathouse rituals, Amanita muscaria use, and the summer solstice as the biggest festival of the Wheel of the Year. The main message of the film is – returning to nature and its cycles brings us the true healing.
You can stream the film (and chose the preferred subtitles) or download the film (you have to download the film and the subtitles and watch it with a media player like VLC).
We are looking forward to your comments and feedback! We already have a dream about the next film project! The Baltic plant medicine women and medicinal plants, including the sacred Master Plants of Old Europe.
