Starting from age 18(ish) two strong callings resonated from deep within me.

One is for the traveling to amazonian jungle experience, something way out of my comfort zone. My wish once I get there is to try the now well renound bevarage named "Ayahuasca". Latin America is home to the most powerfull healers and/or shamans in the world at this time, and under their guidance, I wish my inner journey throught the plant, to roll.

The other calling, or should I say urge coming from deep within, is to do something bigger than myself. To do something besides myself, that will serve others as much it would me.

I am living in Romania, a country that produced eager minds, and complex souls ( see Emil Cioran, Constantin Brancusi, Mircea Eliade,etc) and still continues to do so. We are the descendants of the Dacians, whom based their sole existance around shamans, sacred locations and energies. Yet me and I can see in many others, have our roots shaken. 

Based on all information above,I have decided to combine both of my callings, and make a documentary that will contain my full journey from Cluj-Napoca, to Latin America, and whom, even having it filmed mostly filmed 5000 kilometers away, could potentially promulgate the call for roots into our own spirituality. 

The documentary will feature my journey, alongside paralels between the Latin American shamans and the Dacian shamans from the Carpathian mountains. It will show the similarities and differences between their ideology and workings.

It will be mostly filmed in my native languange, so it can touch as many romanians as possible, BUT I will also subtitle it into english for anyone else interested in the paralels between dacians shamans and contemporany Latin American shamans, or by thy documentary itself. 

Thank you very much for your presence here, and for reading my already 1880 characters wrote in the campaign. 

Bogdan,
