A Pilgrimage

on 2 DVDs

… for the next 7 generations

The following films – QUOVADIS?MENSCH – have been created as an answer to the global financial crisis in 2008 with the overall question: “Where does humanity want to go in future concerning the challenges of our time?”. The gab between rich and poor is growing. Whole nations go bankrupt. What could we do as human beings? We are at the treshold into a new age of being human on planet earth. Sustainability is a major topic. What do we as human beings really need? I went on a pilgrimage with a campervan through Europe and on the journey the two documentaries “Follow the rainbow to Findhorn” and “One Wisdom” were being born. In both movies I digest my experiences of leaving society behind to consider a deeper wisdom in human nature and finding alternative ways of living together in community and with nature waiting to be explored.

ONE WISDOM

published: 12/2012 – Full length: 107 min.
language: English only – German only – English, German / Subtitles: German, English

A pilgrimage into nowhere … in a campervan I drive through Europe. There is no destination – only the wish to find answers on burning questions of our time like: What to do with the global finance crisis? What to do if human values are lacking? What do we really need? The result of our development of the past decades is: „We’ve been downgraded from citizens to consumers.”

Mahatma Gandhi said: “Be the change you want to see in the world.” In every crisis there’s an opportunity for change. There is hope if we connect with our individual potential and set of for the “new land”. There is a longing in me and so I feel drawn to an island where heaven and earth are very close to each other …

I meet Angaangaq, Grandmother Maria Alice Campos-Freire, Isaac Shapiro, Malcolm King, Manitonquat, Michael Stillwater, Neale Donald Walsch, Peter Tyler, Ray Simpson, Sara Annon, Soeren Hauge, Thomas Hübl and Thomas Warrior. Yet I feel:

WE’RE THE ONES WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
