STEEMIT EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Lawrence Blair - Confirmed! BUDOCON Lab Seminar 2017 - Explorer & Anthropologist from 'Ring of Fire' EmmyAward BBC Series Doco

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

Greetings Fellow Steemians!


I'm the Producer of the seminar platform BudoCon MindLab based in Bali, Indonesia. We are beyond excited to announce our next guest speaker, none other than Legendary Explorer Dr. Lawrence Blair.

Why does it matter? Because the man is a rare and vanishing breed of adventurers and explorers from yesteryear. It is important we listen to their stories before they are forgotton, making way for the New Gods.

We'll also be Streaming the Seminar LIVE from PotatoHead Beach Club! So please do follow us and keep up to date on all our future seminars, projects and guest speakers.



This scholar and gentleman is best known for his documentary series The Ring of Fire: An Indonesian Odyssey, is a series of five documentary films that documented the ten-year voyage of two filmmakers, brothers Lorne Blair and Lawrence Blair, through the world's largest and least known archipelago. Financed by Ringo Starr, the Blair Brothers arrived in Indonesia from England in 1972. The Indonesian archipelago was still dominated by ancient paganism and the Blaire Brothers spent over two decades documenting the ecology of the islands and the spiritual beliefs of its peoples.

One major result was the Emmy-nominated BBC/PBS television series Ring of Fire, a masterwork of modern adventure and ethnographic film. Cut from 80 hours of 16mm film in co-production with WGBH, Boston, RING OF FIRE was produced, directed and photographed by Lorne Blair and co-produced and written by Lawrence Blair. Executive producer was Frontline's David Fanning

I've had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Blair on a few occasions, star-struck mostly. The first time was in a public place, I recognized his voice behind me. I turned around, there he was standing there, 6ft'1 and a parrot on his shoulder. Don't think I'll ever be in a situation like that again, you see, Dr. Blair also sports an eye-patch on his left eye. A moment, I shall never forget.

Leading up to the seminar, we'll be having a few interviews with Dr. Blair. Some of these interview questions will stem from questions you Steemians ask me, here on this forum. The comments section below will serve as the playing field for our curiosity. It's a Steem Grown project.


Not many folks are aware, but Lawrence also published a book in 1976 titled Rhythms of Vision which was an exploration into the Mystic nature of oneself. In my humble opinion, topics of this work resonate more today, than ever before.


In addition, we are frantically prepping for a special guest to sit down and talk to Dr. Blair next week. It'll be the first of these interviews mentioned above, and its going to be spectacular. We're going to present you Steemians a lovely conversation between two Legends in their respective fields. The other Bohemian guest we present for the talk is, Entertainer, Musician & Producer, Dj Harvey.


Remember, all of this is a Steemit Exclusive! You will hear of information from here first for the next few weeks in the build up to the event in September. It's going to be a great evening under the stars. We were lucky to have Journalist and Author Mr. Graham Hancock as a guest speaker for our Inaugural Launch last year.

Did you make a video recording of the Graham Hancock event? I would love to see it.

We sure did! The man is amazing and we will release the video 1 week before the Dr. Blair seminar on Sept 27 this year. Mr. Hancock spoke in depth about the 24,000 year old Pyramid structure in Indonesia.

Wonderful! I should come back soon 😝
