According to Chief Letakots-Lesa of the Pawnee People, the Creator speaks to us through the animals of the Natural World. These animals offer to awaken us to the wisdom of existence.
If only we would listen.

When we truly listen, the sounds of Nature begin to build what Rainer Maria Rilke called ‘a temple deep inside our hearing’. A temple in which each step into Nature begins to offer a sound field that carries us into a profound relationship with wherever we are…and brings our Being into harmonic resonance with each moment of our existence.

In the spirit of the teachings of Chief Letakots-Lesa and Rilke’s Sonnets to Orpheus, the filmmakers devoted many years to listening to the vocalizations of sea lions near their home. Eventually they began to hear a harmonic resonance in the song of the sea lions reminiscent of that created by many forms of sacred chanting – a harmonic resonance capable of evoking feelings of profound belonging and relationship with all living things. To immerse themselves more fully within this harmonic resonance, they travelled to a tiny islet in the Salish Sea – a favorite haul-out for hundreds of California and Steller sea lions. There, they witnessed a tumult of passion and wild abandon bound together by tender touch and profound intimacy. And discovered a tradition of natural yoga that carried them into a world where grace abides.
