Today is a perfect day to start off year of the Monkey! I got to preview Lynette Wallworth's virtual realty film with SFI president David Krakauer and friend Tim Taylor! This virtual film definitely opened my eyes to the potential future of film making and I did not feel my body for a moment as I saw I had no feet in this world. So today I flew and hovered in the middle of the Australian outback for a virtual moment. #SFI #complexityscience #complexityart #lynettewallworth #davidkrakauer #yearofthemonkey #thesantafeinstitute @simplysantafenm

Photography and stencil mash-up. This image is meant to be a reminder to pierce the vail of illusion and perception. See as clear as possible through the abstract angles of bombardment and communication filling our psyche in this modern age of information. #joeraelandkristina #gangthewolf #joeraelart #stencil #mashup #joerael #illusion #perception #yogart

This is the first page of one of my sketchbooks. This is an inspired drawing of the Cherokee story of the two wolves inside us at war with one another. This is a metaphor for the Union of the two wolves embracing the balance no longer at war but rather coexisting. The power of personal balance brings deeper clarity to our external world and the massive human obstacles we put on one another. This characters name is @gangthewolf. _ _ _ #tatesketchbook #artistsketchbook #sketchbook #joerael #drawing #gangthewolf #cherokee #myth #mythology #willingintroversion (at Santa Fe, New Mexico)

In 2008 I spent over a month walking the state of Colorado with 40+ Dedicated Souls during "The Longest Walk 2". The walk began in Alcatraz and ended in Washington DC, we walked to spread awareness about Sacred Sites, to celebrate that all life is Sacred and to clean up MOTHER EARTH. During this walk I made friends and gained teachers it was one of the most powerful and connective experiences of my life. I wanted to share this photo I took to celebrate all the people who strive to bring change for Indigenous People around the world. Their resilience and dedication is impeccable I bow deeply🙏🏽⚡️. Happy Indigenous peoples day everyday! _ _ _ #thelongestwalk2 #indigenouspeoplesday #nativeamerica #resiliance #protectsacredsites #cleanupmotherearth #alllifeissacred #sacred

#fbf to Circa 2011 the second time I saw @yogini_kristina perform💖💘💕💞💓. She's the pink one in the middle. I wanted to post this so you all may check out her cool project on her instagram called "epidermal topography". She is documenting various parts of her being as she glides into 30 years on this planet. She is my biggest inspiration and influence my #muse. _ _ _ #performanceart #kristinaserna @gangthewolf #palosoleri #gangthewolf #love

Summer has left us and the opening to fall is here! Santa Fe weather knows how to welcome the seasons. It's been a while since I have felt them change, the other night a cold front came in and I knew fall was here. #fall @simplysantafenm #santafe #doublerainbow

#templeofconfessions a place of refuge during the dust of #burningman "a confession, during this burn I went into my shadow not a witness but an experience beyond intellectual explanation" 🙏🏾⚡️thank you my ever shape shifting #psyche . (at Black Rock City)

[joeraelelliott]

Somehow @yogini_kristina and I ended up here again and as always it was heart opening mind expanding. Where else other than #blackrockcity would a Canadian gift me a custom toddler bike. #burningman2015 thanks @teekigram !
