                    only met the Bear Mother when I was sick.  Was she there all 
                    along?  If I had stayed healthy, would she have appeared at 
                    all?" |

                        A 
                          Woman asks that question at the beginning of Send 
                          Word, Bear Mother, 
                          a feature-length dramatic film based on the true story 
                          of a woman's journey to healing. 
                           
                          As we accompany the woman on her journey, we discover 
                          the profound connection between humans and grizzly bears, 
                          creatures with whom we have ancient ties. 
                           
                          We also witness the power of imagery and imagination, 
                          and the mindbody connection, in healing and health. |

                          that has great meaning for individual women and for 
                          the planet..."
