I started in the dark, with the first soft birds at about 4 am, traveled down to the treefield events park at Tui Community, Wainui bay Golden Bay New Zealand. I was alone till about 6:30 when lynne and her husband Chris arrived, I filmed the dark as I spoke a Karakia (prayer) I filmed the setting full moon and then the fire in our sacred circle, under our sacred tent (the pentacle). Redwood and Cynthia and Antony arrived at about 7am and we setup to move spontaneously to redwoods poem. It was a field of warmth and ease, flow and connection. Totally random and also controlled and at ease, rest. I filmed on a Canon 7D with a 10 mm fisheye as well as a canon XF-100 with a rode NT-1 condenser mic as ambient and a sony wireless clipon-mic on Redwood for her voice. Edited in Final cut pro and sound editied in Pro-tools.

Sweet times on an auspicious date. Gratitude for the opportunity to express and release this art. Peace and Love. Jay Horton
