@wayofthebowfestival is back !

Thankfully, Subash had access to it through his mobile number and was able to retrieve control on our page.

Big thanks to @gathasatheesh

So the drama came to an end peacefully without any ransom payout.

To any potential hacker out there .... please don't.

Just don't.

Subash can't handle the tension and doctors have advised him a week long vacation to get his pressure down after all this.

Think of Subash.

Thanks to all those who reached out.

We have secured the site and now we have archers guarding the parameter. by @mgflmz

There was a time in my life when the structure I called “me” collapsed.

Quietly.

And once that happened, it became diﬃcult to experience identity in the same way again.
Thoughts appeared.
Memories remained.

But the certainty of a ﬁxed “I” behind them… cracked.

Perhaps personality is far more fragile than we imagine.
A story constantly being narrated into existence.

And maybe that is why I was drawn toward old practices like archery.
Not to become someone.
But to learn how to stand in the world again.

@agasthyam_kalaripayattu bringing back the archery tradition back to its home through @indovedic

We lost a lot of our heritage and traditions during the time of colonisation.

A feared martial tradition was subdued for long enough... today ... its being claimed back...

Way of the Bow

An unconventional traveller follows the country's oldest bow traditions into remote communities where every encounter uncovers disappearing knowledge, extraordinary people and timeless relationships between humanity and nature.

Way of the Bow is a cinematic docuseries about far more than archery

Its about forests that still heal
Crafts passed from hand to hand
Rituals carried through generations
And communities whose knowledge has survived because someone chose to remember

We have begun this journey.

Now we are looking for fellow travellers, people, institutions, brands, researchers, cultural organisations and story tellers who believe these living traditions deserve a global audience.

If this speaks to you, please share it.

Tag someone who may help us find a community, open a door , make an introduction, or bring this story closer to the world.

Some stories entertain.
Some stories preserve.
This one does both.

For collaborations and support DM @ thearchersclub.in@gmail.com

Urban Hermit - Way of the bow , has been a project that has been in the making for over 12 years.

So much has happened since Martin and his team joined me on this journey to record, learn , revive and promote traditional indian archery.

When we started we planned to explore the tribal regions across india and learn from the masters lf hunting. The archery of sustenance.

Then there was martial archery. Archery that defined this ancient land. Into our history, stories and our gods. Dhanurvidya from the ancient manuscript of Dhanurveda.

We found them.

The journey became more than just an attempt at finding and highlighting these gatekeepers who are probably the last connection between our past and future.

It became weirdly like a revelation ... a glimpse of myself in their stories.

Relevance. by @mgflmz
