We are a reflection of nature. Nature is a reflection of us. Together, we tell the story of the one. Nature is full of wisdom if we are observant and listen. In 2018, TAHLEQUAH, the orca also known as J35, took a 1,000-mile “tour of grief.” With support from fellow members in her clan, TAHLEQUAH pushed her deceased 400lb infant through the Pacific Northwest for 17 days. In this adaptation, TAHLEQUAH is assisted by her ancestors and forces of nature on an emotional excavation and untethering. The harmonizing and renewal she experiences is worthy of the visibility of her vulnerability. DANCE OF THE ORCAS is the reminder we all need to cry the river in order to find freedom in our truth.
