Bruce Parry is an explorer and documentary maker well known to the UK for the BBC documentary series he has made whilst living amongst many indigenous communities around the world.

His latest major film is Tawai: A Voice From The Forest which he made independently. It’s a fascinating film that listens deeply to some of the last remaining indigenous egalitarian communities on Earth so that our industrial culture might learn other ways of being that still persist to this day in which it’s possible to live fully in harmony with each other and with the whole of life. Ways which used to be much more common and could one day become so again.

Bruce has spent many years travelling around the planet but a few years ago decided to settle back in the UK and to a small Welsh homestead in need of regeneration. He hopes to share this project with others looking to learn from wiser cultures and yearning for a life fully reintegrated with nature. He also hopes the seeds of heart wisdom he has brought back from tribes such as the Penan and Mbendjele can germinate and thrive in Western Industrial culture at a time when it’s so needed.

Bruce is such a generous spirit and his message is so crucial in the times we are living in. I strongly recommend you watch Tawai: A voice from the forest which you can stream via the website www.tawai.earth. And for more information about Bruce and his work please visit bruceparry.com
