Exploring Elephanttribe.org and ElephantTribe Inspirational Films recently embraced the beauty of the Monarch Program facility in Encinitas, CA. We filmed the story of the monarch butterfly and it’s eloquent representation of the cycle of life which is experienced by each of us. From birth to death life takes us through various phases and layers of work and play which are all reflected in the 4 stages of the butterfly life cycle. Through metamorphosis, Greek for transformation, the butterfly transforms from an egg to a caterpillar to a chrysalis (Greek for golden crown). The final stage of the cycle involves the chrysalis bravely shedding its outer layer and revealing all of the beautiful parts within that make up the butterfly. This process reminds us of the internal beauty that resides in all of us. Un-cage your inner-self and unleash the hidden strength and power within you. At last, we watched over one hundred monarch butterflies complete their life cycle by flying freely around the room and sharing the wonder of creation with us.
