Nouveau Shamanic Cinema

We host an episode of a new podcast that looks at the deeper resonances that are in video games.

For this episode we discuss Shadow of the Erdtree and the way that it feels like a collective soul realm.

We talk about all the mythic resonance that overflows from this film and its archetypal depths.

The Nouveau Shamanic Cinema season one wrap-up, where we reflect on the 14 movies we watched in season one, the paradigms they immersed us in and the revelations each one inspired.

In Paprika a machine that allows you to enter people’s dreams goes missing and everyone starts dreaming and living in the same dream world.

We also talk about Steve Aizenstat's dream tending: https://dreamtending.com/

We watch the Hollywood epic, the Last Samurai, and reflect on the themes of warrior energy, psychedelic therapy and full masculine power.

We discuss evil feminine power, the many ways that it can manifest and how those ways are depicted through the horror film Suspiria.

We watched the Green Knight; we start by introducing the concepts of phenomenal opacity and transparency and discuss getting your head cut off as a metaphor for being in a non-dual flow state with meaning.

We engaged with this film as a soul-realm transmission about letting go of control and finding the courage to step into the flow of life.

We watched Sunshine, with guest David Lassiter, and resonate with the themes of life and death, opening to the full raw intensity of experience and the importance of staying in touch with humanity on the spiritual path.

We watched the Witch and explored themes of how religious beliefs can shape experience as well as evil and the many different forms it can take.

In the podcast where we watch movies as if they are dreams or imaginal practice, we watch Annihilation. 

We discuss its themes of reality unravelling, refraction of experience, naturalness and the Goddess journey as an alternative frame for experience.
