Bruce Parry on Indigenous Tribes

Bruce Parry, Bruce Parry, Bruce Parry! What a gent!


How often do you get to speak with someone who has fully immersed
themselves in 15 different indigenous tribes all across the
world?


He ate what they ate including maggots and insects, he slept
where they slept at times on hard dirt floors tangled between
legs and arms and mosquitos crawling at his skin, he took part in
ceremonial practices and plant medicines awakening his soul to
all kinds of other realms, but most importantly he opened his
mind to old wisdom, other ways of being and thinking which has
shaped his existence and shown him new perspectives on life.



"Just hanging out with people who have a completely
different perception of reality, different spirtual beliefs,
different relationships with each other, different nature beliefs.
All these things that I had to go through massive internal shifts
to understand. Because you can just carry on looking at the world
through your own scientific material prism but when you start
taking on board that actually these people have got something else
going on and maybe it’s worth listening too because they are not
the ones messing the planet up. I started out kind of thinking I
knew it all and ended up realising I didn’t know anything and thats
a humbling journey."




Bruce is an explorer, indigenous rights advocate, author,
former Royal Marines officer, but he is possibly most well known
for the three BBC documentary series; Tribe, Amazon, and Arctic.
All of which documenting Bruce's exploration of extreme
environments, living with remote indigenous peoples, and
highlighting many of the important issues being faced on the
environmental frontline.


We covered it all with Bruce and to be honest could have spoken
for days, maybe even months more, we feel a friendship was been
made and look forward to keeping an eye on his progress with his
next adventure; an egalitarian community in Wales.
