Welcome to AvatarBlues.co.uk – this website is currently under construction and is being updated regularly (updated: 27th April 2010).
Content will approach the phenomena, known as the ‘Avatar Blues’ (also labelled as ‘Avatar Syndrome’ and ‘Avatar Depression’) from an Earth Wisdom persepective. One key focus of this site is to help illuminate the positive learnings that we can take from the Avatar movie and touch into ways of how some of the widely reported symptoms of loss, emptiness, apathy, powerlessness etc can be transformed into patterns, and ways of being that empower the individual and create a more life-affirming approach to things.
Please note that it isn’t necessary to have seen the Avatar Movie in order to view this site.
Not only was I drawn to write about the Avatar Blues syndrome because I felt that some of the perspectives I can share may be of benefit to blues sufferers, but I was also deeply moved when I myself watched the movie earlier this year. There are many parallels between the Na’vi (the indigenous people of the planet Pandora) culture and those of native peoples of planet Earth. Community is a strong theme both in the film and in my Life (and in my opinion is a basic need of Human Beings). There are also the political, tribal and environmental implications in the film which mirror our situation, and choice-point, here on Earth today.
Please bare with us whilst we get the site in order (it’s a busy [Spring] time of year) and in the meantime you can subscribe to our mailing list, via the link below, and we’ll let you know when the site is ready (not finished!) and content rich.
Many thanks for your patience,
Antony.
