Our team is a triad of experienced healers, warm-hearted and insightful coordinators, and a tirelessly dedicated film crew. Although our skill sets vary, our principles are 100% in alignment. Our mission, first and foremost, is to create a safe and welcoming environment through which a deep understanding of Amazonian and Andean healing traditions can be achieved. Our team was handpicked with an eye on the delicacy of the subject matter being explored.
Nick has spent the past four years directing and editing feature length documentaries about holistic alternatives to conventional medicine. Most recently, Nick directed “The Tapping Solution" and co-edited "Simply Raw - Raw for 30 Days". His current role as Producer of "The Sacred Science" stems from a calling to honor, preserve, and protect the ancient knowledge and rituals of the indigenous peoples of the world.
Since graduating from Fairfield University in 2008, Dan has engaged in a handful of independent film and music projects, including several collaborations with Yes lead singer Jon Anderson. While working as a cable news segment producer and booker, he assisted Nick Polizzi on "The Tapping Solution" as an outside technical consultant. Dan jumped at the chance to work with Nick as a filmmaking partner, pursuing "The Sacred Science" as both a creative venture and a chance to immerse himself in the culture and practices of South American shamanism.
Grandson of a great curandero from a small village about 6 hours via boat from Iquitos in the Northern Peruvian jungle, Don Bechin was introduced to the world of Amazon healing during his early years. In addition to the potential received from his family's healer lineage, Don Bechin became a medicine man and plant expert by going through a tough apprenticeship for decades, doing Dietas (healing and apprenticeship fasts with a wide range of medicinal plants and master teacher plants from the Amazon jungle.)
Roman Hanis is dedicated to the study and implementation of the many deep transformative healing methods that have been in use for thousands of years, paying special focus to the construction of intercultural bridges between Amazonian, Andean & Eastern healing spiritual traditions. Using these very traditions, Roman was fortunate enough to be cured of a terminal, genetic illness 8 years ago. The non-conceptual universal essence of these tools and the wisdom behind them are being integrated into western culture by Roman through his daily healing practices, aimed at providing maximum benefit and the profound re-emergence of ancestral values in our modern world.
