Nika Annon interviews transmedia artist and producer, Katy Walker, of the documentary film 'Time is Art'. 'Time is Art' is a film about synchronicity and the rise of global collective consciousness. The film was inspired by acclaimed & visionary author José Argüelles’ studies in ancient indigenous wisdom. It explores the idea that modern humanity is immersed in an erroneous and artificial perception of time that deviates from the natural order of the universe. The documentary shows how society has become disconnected from the natural rhythms of the earth by focusing only on money, consumerism and exploitation while deep down inside, individuals crave the return to a foundation of culture, community, and creation.

After 20 years as a Methodist minister, he left the ministry to begin a different, spiritually "larger" life in New Mexico. In New Mexico, Carl worked in construction and then opened his own construction company. Currently, he is not involved in any "organized" religion but continues to study Native American and Andean shamanism.

Vickie grew up in remote ranch country in Arizona, riding her pony through the

desert, happily immersed in wild nature. Naturally inquisitive, she chose to study

biology, receiving her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Arizona. As a

research professor at the University of New Mexico Biology department, she

studied the molecular genetics of aging and she taught courses ranging from

freshman to graduate levels. In 2000, she founded Bio-Logic LLC, a consulting

company focused on building biosensors for detecting infectious diseases.

After many years in a fast-paced career, she felt a need to return to wild nature

and to go inward. In 2007, she took a deep dive into a remote village in the

Amazon. She lived as her Indigenous hosts did. She had no electronics, no

plumbing and no contact outside the village. She ate what her hosts ate. When she

returned home, she felt healthier than she could remember. A truly remarkable

experience!

She also began to study indigenous healing practices with a teacher from Mexico,

a journey that continues today. She is co-writing a book with her teacher,

suggesting that contemporary science is not the first to discover deep principles of

health, medicine and the cosmos.

Vickie lives in an orchard in the Village of Placitas with her husband, some

chickens and many wild creatures. She is currently leading an experimental farm

project to explore place-based approaches for growing food while conserving

water.
