Sas Carey's film Ceremony will be shown at the Memorial Building sponsored by the Jeudevine Library. After the film Sas will talk about her extensive work and travels with Mongolian peoples, the role of shamanism and traditional medicine for healing arts in northern Asia, and her book Reindeer Herders In My Heart. She runs Nomadicare at www.nomadicare.org.
She says, "Making CEREMONY was different from making another film. It required trips over many years to northern Mongolia, by car, train, horse, jeep, and reindeer through rivers and mud, over boulders and mountains. It required camping out in reindeer herders’ Siberian urts (tipi) or our own tents. No bathrooms or even outhouses. Getting to know the people and their lifestyle was the first requirement. More years were needed to get permission to see a ceremony and even more to film one."
There will be refreshments and discussion!
