Bitterroot artist/shaman featured in film “Sundancing With the Muse, Heyoka Merrifield's Sacred Art Story,” a feature film by Missoula filmmaker Jason Gutzmer, will premiere at the Roxy Theatre in downtown Missoula on Saturday, May 22 at 5 and 7 p.m. Merrifield and Gutzmer will be in attendance. In “Sundancing with the Muse,” viewers discover the importance of the sacred in art, the sacred in the earth and a ceremonial life that makes them one. Stevensville artist and shaman Heyoka Merrifield exposes his personal and creative journey that reveals the source of creativity and the roots of imagination. In looking at the medicine wheel of his story as a sundancer for more than thirty years and his near death shamanic experience that gave him a unique grasp of the interplay between our world and the world of spirits, a path is illuminated and we realize we each have a gift to give away to the circle of life, making our walk on earth a sacred journey.
