Deep Listening
The Secret to Living in Community
A new film available in digital download and digital rental.
Exploring the secrets of Aboriginal wisdom which enable connection and healing, this documentary asks
What skills do we need to build successful relationships and how can we create communities that are both healthy and sustainable?
From the same film-maker as Lammas and Ecovillage Pioneers, this film is beautifully shot against the rich diversity of the Australian landscape. Deep Listening interviews inspiring leaders in alternative culture, and Aboriginal elders share their own wisdom on the indigenous way of dadirri or deep listening―a profound connection to self, land and people.
Featuring well-known lifestyle and ecology activists such as David Holmgren, John Seed and Robin Clayfield, Deep Listening draws a fascinating portrait of the people who have created the diverse communities that have thrived across Australia over the last 40 years. With ponderous pauses and moments of silent observation, the film itself is a meditation on the meaning of deep listening.
Deep Listening is available for rent and digital download. No need to wait, watch the film today! Want to purchase the DVD? Stay tuned, we’ll have that available soon!
All of our films are available at our Videos page and on Vimeo, including 2 documentaries by the same film-maker:
Lammas – How to Build an Ecovillage. In a fast-paced world, many of us dream of going back to the land. See what it is like for these families who decide to build natural “hobbit” houses in an attempt to live as a more sustainable community.
Ecovillage Pioneers – A Journey Towards Low-Impact Living. Take a journey following the pioneers of low impact living as a young mother journeys through Australia, Spain, the UK, and Ireland, in search of a more sustainable way of life.
