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.

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.

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.

On February 16th, 2013 ElephantTribe.org organized a hike on the Matilija Canyon Trail located near Ojai, California. We had a remarkable journey as we hiked 8.4 miles out and back overcoming tough terrain and river crossings. The hike included a very unique vertical rope climb that gave our hikers the opportunity to overcome fear of heights and learn more about how capable we can all be at engaging with life’s many obstacles. The reward at the top of the hike was a brilliant waterfall and the source of the river that we had been following for most of the excursion – reminding of our origin of birth and bodies – namely – water.
