Paul Myburgh

Paul Myburgh, a multiple award-winning documentary film maker, has had a life-long commitment to Africa that transcends the boundaries of politics and ideologies. This became evident years ago when he spent seven years of his life living amongst the !Gwi Kalahari Bushmen, becoming an integral part of this ancient African culture. An immersion which has granted a unique access into the invisible world of trance and spirit... a telling partnership with the journey of humanity. A result of this dedication was an internationally acclaimed documentary, 'People of the Great Sandface'.

Widely regarded as a classic, this remarkable ethnographic study has won many awards and firmly established him as a respected film-maker world wide. Paul is at present in the final stages of writing, production and publication of two books, a DVD and music CD from this valuable body of work. He is also currently writing a six hour series of documentaries on 'The Human Evolution – Consciousness and Form'.

Twenty years of 'back-tracking' have enabled this story to come to wisdom, to serve as a bridge between the 'dreaming' consciousness of the first people and the 'wide awake' consciousness of modern humanity.

The unravelling of the metaphor which binds both the stories and story-pictures left as a record by the Bushman, is a critical to the sustainability of humanity going forward, and never before has it been more important to understand and contextualize our place in the world.

Paul Myburgh has a unique perspective on this journey of humanity through time-space... He has had a fifteen year involvement in Palaeoanthropology and exclusive access to the discovery and excavation of the famous 'Little Foot' fossil skeleton at Sterkfontein which was discovered by Prof Ron Clarke... a world first.

From 1995 – 2000, Paul was Producer, Director, Editor and Writer for National Geographic Natural History, USA.

Myburgh was instrumental in initiating Environmental TV programming in South Africa. For his work on the St. Lucia Wetland controversy, Paul was awarded the 1990 SAB Environmental Journalist of the Year Award by Dr. Ian Player.

Myburgh lectures on the San People by invitation at Schools, Universities and specialist institutions throughout the world, including The Institute for the Study of Man in Africa and the SA Archaelogical Society.

Paul is a speaker/facilitator for numerous corporate bodies on Business leadership and Worldview Development on the subject of the human journey from the time before the first people - human consciousness, from whence we come - who we are – and to where we might be going... biospheric immersion and sustainability.

"We are here to make what contribution we can
to humanity in a one-world environment"
