A Winter Solstice Film
A documentary shaped around the feelings of appreciation to nature, culture and all the interconnected webs that support life.

We honour, listen and embrace voices that resonate with the land, traditions, practices and our territories. Spread their knowledge as seeds of memories, healing and nourishing our spirits and bodies. We can't wait to share with their powerful and memorable words.
