You Can Support the Healing Planet Project
Healing Planet is an exploration of the loss of perceptual and cultural diversity, with a focus on indigenous healing arts and spiritual practices around the world. Healing Planet is currently a documentary film project in its post-production stages, with over one hundred hours of footage of healing people, places, and plants, shot in six locations worldwide: Hawaii, Nepal, India, China, Vietnam and Peru. We are in the beginning stages of creating an accompanying book for the film in hopes that the book may give greater depth than the feature film format is capable of offering. In addition, we have a mandate to give back to the communities we have visited by leaving a record of their healing and spiritual practices for future generations.
In the years it has taken to work toward completion of the film, two of the healers we met have passed away and two have fallen seriously ill. Many of the plants from which indigenous Peruvian or Tibetan medicine is made have become scarce or extinct. Sacred ceremonies have been truncated or eliminated due to economic pressures on the practitioners who can no longer afford the time away from paid work. Although we understand things cannot remain in stasis, we feel an urgency to record as much of these traditions as possible before they are forever gone. Because the world’s healing legacy belongs to all of us, we believe we all share in the responsibility to be the guardians of this wisdom and tradition.
It is our hope that you will find our work worthy of your support.
Thank you for your consideration.

“Life is filled with wonder, most of it built upon the past and how the
past impacts the present. Understanding indigenous tribes, grasping history
and comprehending both spiritual and medicinal healing is crucial to mankind’s
progress. Marie-Rose is taking us there by discovering her own healing powers, studying cultures to make herself a stronger healer and preserving that which has come before her. Through the storyline of personal growth, Healing Planet educates the viewer on the mysteries of healers from around the world. This is more than a documentary; it is a brave and inspiring journey of personal discovery.” |
