His New Earth Story

Bruce’s New Earth story began with his adventures into nature as a youth. This was followed by extended journeys in Borneo, and then by visiting many tribes around the world. Yet his deeper awakening into the societal shift needed for us to live harmoniously came later, with a particular tribe, the Penan. “Ultimately, every other group of people I have ever met in my life, exists in societies of competition, hierarchy and ownership. The Penan, (and the tiny handful of other remaining egalitarian societies), do not.” This realization set Bruce on a path of spreading the message of peaceful egalitarianism as our roadmap to a New Earth.

His Work

Bruce became well known on British television for presenting two popular BBC series,’ Tribe and Arctic. He has been praised for his dedication to raising awareness of indigenous people’s rights and opening the general public’s eyes to diverse cultures and practices. More recently, he produced the film “Tawai, A Voice From The Forest,” a gentle, meditative movie with vital messages from the heart of nature.

“I have come to believe that the Penan are perceiving the world, and themselves within it, in a profoundly interconnected way – subtly expressed, perhaps, in their word tawai. It’s not that they themselves are different, of course, but it’s as if their sense of identity and perception of that which is around them, is more holistic and less atomised than other cultures I’ve met – and this, in turn, influences every aspect of their lives.”
