Awakin Movie Circle & Community Screening of Teach Me to Be WILD (Nov 15/16)



We are delighted to welcome two special guests and dear friends from California to share their incredibly inspiring labour-of-love documentary film, Teach Me to Be WILD! En route to a film festival in Totnes, we're grateful that Anne and Rajesh will be in London for a couple of days to screen their film and offer us a glimpse into their own journeys.

Teach Me To Be Wild explores the work of a sanctuary in Northern California, where a team of injured, non-releasable wild animals become Wild-Teachers and are helping generations of hurt children (at-risk teens, justice-involved youth, foster kids and others). The traumatic histories of the creatures, who range from an Andean condor to a two-toed sloth, often parallel those of the at-risk children who visit. Unexpected and empathic connections are forged that ripple into stories of transformation. Founded by Steve Karlin, a former park ranger and television personality whose greatest mentors were a 330-pound American black bear and a pair of robins, Wildlife Associates aims to recall us to our true place in Nature’s web. Filmed over a period of three years with intimate access to the animals, their caregivers, workshop facilitators and their spirited students, Teach Me To Be Wild captures the magic that transpires where wounded children and their Wild Teachers meet.

Watch the film trailer and RSVP to join us at one of the film screenings below with Anne and Rajesh!

• Awakin Movie Circle (Pimlico) - Thursday, November 15th (7:15-9:45pm): Join us for this first ever Awakin Movie Circle in London, where we plan to gather after dinner to watch the documentary, hear from the film makers' journeys and share reflections on themes from the movie followed by tea and light refreshments.

We look forward to seeing you again at an upcoming Awakin Circle in October and a film screening in November!

With love and gratitude,

Trishna, Ani, Mita, Vicky and Shamash
