Fairy Tracks: in search of the spirit in nature

Holy nature Mother Earth always elicits a sense of wonder, inspiration, and hope,

by means of images and interviews, with children, Native Americans, psychologists, ecologists, environmentalists, physicists, and religious leaders, Fairy Tracks helps us remember why we care.

What should our impulse be as the human representatives in the council of nature?
This question is as old as humanity and will continue to engage us forever.

This 54 minute lyrical documentary essay, investigates a variety of ways to define nature. Those interviewed include children, Rabbi Gershon Winkler , Sister Joan Brown , an ecologist- Dr Craig Conley, a philosopher-David Abram, a Jungian psychologist-Jerome Bernstein, native American Eskimos, and a neutrino physicist. The experience of seeing the movie will recapture our innate sense of wonder, and better appreciate and lead to better stewardship of the awesome construct we call nature.

The film contains wonderful shots of the glories of nature, the not so charming images of a human dominated landscape, whimsical animation sequences, children’s paintings, and historic Victorian fairy imagery.

There are many movements in environmentalism today that would support the impetus of this film; among these deep ecology, biophilia, and ecopsychology. There are even more movements of spiritual investigation that would be very supportive of the underlying message of this film. The film unabashedly mixes science and spirit.
