The Tao of Apocalypse

Turning toward our deepest fears

In this film we explore what it means to attend to the destruction wing of creation. This is of utmost importance because the fundamental rhythm of nature is expansion and contraction. The cycle of life is a cycle. If we turn away from death, if we turn away from contraction, we are, paradoxically, drawn toward it. Daniel explores modes of apocalypse historically, across times and cultures, and it turns out to be different than what you would think.
