Into the Heart of the Mountain:
Film Screening Followed by Artist Discussion

For four decades, the Nomads Clinic has undertaken annual medical pilgrimages to some of the most remote and inaccessible mountain regions of the Himalayas in Nepal. An initiative created and led by Zen Buddhist spiritual leader Roshi Joan Halifax, the Nomads Clinic is the subject of Annegré Bosman’s multifaceted documentary, Into the Heart of the Mountain. It takes the viewer on a circuitous trail through Humla, a spectacular mountainous district by the Tibetan border. As the narrator, Roshi Joan Halifax’s words and teachings underscore a vision of mutually enriching interchange and balance.

Following the film screening, exhibiting artist Erika Wanenmacher will speak with Roshi Joan Halifax about intersections between Wanenmacher’s what Time Travel feels like, sometimes exhibition and Into the Heart of the Mountain. The discussion will explore topics of feminism, our relationship with the past, spiritualism, and more.
