Create Your Bliss With Nika Annon

Nika Annon interviews transmedia artist and producer, Katy Walker, of the documentary film 'Time is Art'. 'Time is Art' is a film about synchronicity and the rise of global collective consciousness. The film was inspired by acclaimed & visionary author José Argüelles’ studies in ancient indigenous wisdom. It explores the idea that modern humanity is immersed in an erroneous and artificial perception of time that deviates from the natural order of the universe. The documentary shows how society has become disconnected from the natural rhythms of the earth by focusing only on money, consumerism and exploitation while deep down inside, individuals crave the return to a foundation of culture, community, and creation.
