The North Node
Long-form storytelling, shot the way a feature would be: patient, observational, true.
The North NodeIntro
What can we learn from our elders that will bring us back to ourselves in times of crisis? Remembering our humanity and our code of conduct with others, our mental health, and an overall way of living that serves us rather than destroys us. This is a story about reviving an old way of living, breathing and being. Before the elders of our lifetime leave us, there are great stories, applicable methods of life and cycles we can learn from. Wisdom only comes from knowledge and experience, and the faster our society swipes past process and patience, the more disconnected we become from the land and our truth. The North Node is about going back to our roots, and the resilience to pursue a way of life that aligns with the land and ourselves.
