Tarynn Wiehahn, at a crossroads in her life, confronts a profound question: “How much time do I really have left? What is my deeper purpose here?”
Destiny brings Tarynn face-to-face with Makhosi Sarah Wager, a white traditional healer and bridge-builder trained for years by Zulu elders in the rural heart of Zululand.
Almost a decade earlier, Makhosi Sarah Wager’s health crisis and vivid dreams mysteriously led her from England to South Africa to study under her elder Zulu mentor. This meeting inspires Tarynn, especially when one of the esteemed elder healers brings forth a surprising assertion: ”Tarynn, you too have a calling.”
Enter a hand-crafted cinematic voyage that seamlessly blends the power of exploring with an open mind, excavating cultural wisdoms, and facing our doubts. This film is a vibrant celebration of what it is to explore, leaving you inspired to embrace your own unique journey of purpose.
Does everyone have a soul sickness calling us to wake up? Leading us beyond our personal limits? And if so, how do we fully answer the call?
“A unique, powerful film, Immersive experience from the viewpoint of a young woman grappling with her place in the world. Feels profound and like an experience rather than just a film. Very special.”
“This film deeply touched me personally and I feel it’s poetic and embodied in its transmission. Wholly unique and innovative filmmaking with really alive powerful inquiries.
This film is inviting us all to listen deeper to our soul’s purpose: the unique and different ways we can answer our calling and that only we know inside of us what that truly is!”
“I truly believe there is a calling within each of us. Whether we show up or not is another topic of conversation. I absolutely loved it. It felt all too relatable from hanging out with shamans and healers to partaking in snuff to the messages that each beautiful soul felt inspired to share. I could sit and listen to Paul Myburgh for hours. The dude has some wisdom to drop. It will shake some souls and push more people into ‘their calling.’ The timing of this film is perfect.”
“It’s very much art medicine in this film. The main impact for me is the mirror of a girl stagnant in life at a crossroads seeking the ancient ways to heal. I can see this making a wave and collecting accolades. Quality, it’s a gem.”
