Dear Friends of Divine Earth,
As you know, our mission at Divine Earth is to spread the wisdom of holistic living and living in accord with nature. To this end I encourage you to take some time to watch The Sacred Science. This intriguing documentary follows the lives of 5 people with varying illnesses as they take a leap of faith and journey deep into the Amazon to meet with curanderos, healers that use the healing power of nature. These shamans are keepers of ancient knowledge that has been passed down in a lineage that spans centuries. Today their way of life and the sacred medicines of the jungles are being threatened by urban sprawl and deforestation.

This an amazing documentary! Thank you Johannes for sharing this insight into the world of the medicine men/Shamans in the Amazon jungle ~ In nature man has been provided with the remedies to cure countless illness ~ It is sad with all of modern technology these secrets of the healing trees and plants are mostly overlooked ~ The brave souls in this story took a leap of faith to venture into the jungles of Peru ~ Their stories, each so different, are remarkable to witness and touch the deepest human emotions ~ It shows the wisdom of these medicine men of the ancient healing properties of the trees and plants of the jungle are not a myth but very real ~ New is not always better and it is a great loss if these ancient cures are left to fade out in future years ~~
