SOUL QUEST

In early 2023, Shaman Sirata led an expedition of people from around the world into the magical mountains of Manoa. Sirata, a well known Shaman in Colombia, South America has spent a great deal of his life in the mountains of Manoa. Manoa is the indigenous word for El Dorado, the City of Gold. Atlantis. Explorers have been drawn to this region in search of the buried treasure for centuries. The most famous of the explorers was Sir Walter Raleigh who led two expeditions to this area for the Queen of Spain in the 1500’s.

Locally, it’s known as a mystical place where over the centuries lots of mysterious occurrences have taken place. Sirata, the well known Shaman has authored a book entitled Manoa that reflects upon the time he has spent in this region. When he agrees to lead an expedition to this area, word gets out and spiritual leaders from all over South America gather to follow him into the mountains. 

In 2020, I heard about this opportunity and packed my still/video cameras and headed to a continent that I’ve never to before and found my way to a city nine hours from Bogota to join this expedition. It was the most real, authentic week of my life. The self reflection and spiritual immersion was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was life changing. Before departing the group, I expressed an interest in returning with my film crew to document this type of expedition in hopes that it could have a positive impact on other people’s lives who may be searching for a meaningful experience in their life.

SOUL QUEST is the result of an expedition into Manoa in 2023. The film follows the group as they experience the many levels of their spirituality in a guided, safe and non-judgemental setting that fosters growth in many areas of life. The documentary ends with 6/7 month follow-up interviews that check in with the participants and to discover if and how their lives have changed since this experience.

We are in the final stages of post production on the documentary entitled “SOUL QUEST”. I am hopeful that it will find a streaming platform that allows the message to reach as many people as possible. Stay tuned for a release date and details in how you will be able to view the documentary.
