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 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.
