Weleda
The team at Weleda picking their organically grow nettles. The annual nettle (Urtica urens) is a useful medicinal plant. One of its uses being an ingredient in their Combudoron Spray, which is used to treat insect bites and stings. I found that pretty interesting as every hunter has experience nettle in the bush and it feels like a bad sting or bite where contact to the skin has been made.

This documentary explores the transformative journey of Pete Aldrich, an artist who, after spiraling into the depths of despair, finds solace and purpose through the creation of art. Beginning in 2000, Pete's narrative takes us from a moment of profound vulnerability atop a tree in England to a path of self-discovery and healing in New Zealand. The film delves into Pete's struggles with mental health, the impact of electric shock therapy, and his relentless quest to redefine himself beyond the shadows of his past.
As Pete navigates the complexities of reprogramming his mind and embracing his identity as an artist, he confronts the materialistic pursuits that once led him to the brink of suicide. Through his art, poetry, and a profound connection to the natural world, Pete embarks on a journey to love himself unconditionally, unlocking a newfound freedom and a vision that challenges societal norms.

The documentary highlights Pete's creation of "Pick Up Sticks," a project inspired by the tragedy of the Christchurch shootings, embodying his message of resilience, community healing, and the transformative power of love. Pete's story is a testament to the human spirit's ability to rise from darkness, find inner peace, and impact the world through creativity and compassion.
In sharing his journey, Pete challenges us to confront our own vulnerabilities, embrace our uniqueness, and discover the healing power of art and self-acceptance. This documentary is not just Pete's story; it is an invitation to all who struggle with their own darkness to find light through the creative expression of their deepest truths.
