SPIRIT TRAVELER; Looking into the Past for a Better Future film (interview)
FESTIVAL AUDIENCE FEEDBACK VIDEOS
•
8m 59s
Directed by Sonja Grace
Mystic Sonja Grace looks at the breaking point of two ancient cultures on opposite sides of the world and how their history can help us today. Her ability to Spirit Travel back in time gives a new perspective on the Hopi Indians from Northern Arizona and the Celtic people of England, Ireland, and Scotland. She examines why circular chambers like kivas and stone circles such as Stonehenge were built, the portals that are marked by these sites and the Demi Gods and aliens who influenced them. From the ancient past Sonja brings back hope for the future.
