I just met another fan and ally of the Tibetian Rites!
She said she was "fascinated to see your plot concept inspired by Peter Kelder's book. Good for you! Can't wait to see the film. I love sci fi, fantasy, interesting concepts. Great idea and I wish you well." -Carolinda Witt
Carolinda Witt has also been inspired by the Rites - so much so that she has written a couple of books (Penguin, Random House), produced a DVD and Teacher Training Program for them! She's modified the original movements a bit to make them safer to do as the overbending in the lumbar and cervical spine can cause back/neck issues for a percentage of people. She believes, "We are so much more sedentary today than the monks of the past. Anyway, they work the same, look the same, but are just done with the 'problems' removed and core stability added. And VIP- breathing!"
If I need any help with the movie she offered to offer advice. What a Gal. Carolinda is an excellent resource for the Tibetan rites.
