“SOUL CALLER”

The photographer William Bernard Brooks
creates images of shamanic interludes.

Meditations in the forest and near hidden lakes in the Rocky Mountains in Montana provide an opportunity to align with energies that are still communicating with humans.
In those moments, when form and intent, desire and surrender, knowledge and manifestation coalesce into joyful bliss, we find that gratitude is the noblest of expression.

The artist creates eight signed and numbered carbon pigment prints of each subject.
Printed on Hahnemuehle Fine Art Paper:
German Etching 310gsm 13 x 19

The book “Soul Caller” with images and instructions for meditation will be available by the end of 2007

da nes tapi niskuni

Natosi,

the sun travels heavy through a smoke filled sky,

the fires are promising a plentyful harvest of morels next spring.

survival is still an issue

the seasons listen to mother earth

man remembers his place

awe

where we live

Montana, the big sky country inspires, scares and focuses my intent

having spent many evenings around the fire and at ceremonies with my kainai friends

i have finally begun to write about healing, respect, my place, prayers, arrogance

and compassion, happiness and participation

wanting to open the door

i ring the bell
