The Dolphin Embassy is a research, information, consultancy and production center that aims to create a new cultural environment conducive to a sustainable and harmonious development of life and consciousness on the Planet.

The Embassy’s activities are directly associated with dolphins and whales, who represent the most ancient form of consciousness on Earth, inhabit evidently the larger part of its surface, have abilities, and lead lives that provide lessons of great importance for humans.

For this purpose the Embassy carries out non-invasive research into the abilities of free-living dolphins and whales, as well as public experiments and exhibitions aimed at revealing fundamental commonalities of all types of consciousness on the Planet.

​

Dolphin Embassy Films creates documentaries based on these researches.

​

​

Direct contact between two forms of intelligence is possible.

This contact overtuned not only our usual ideas about dolphins, but also about our ideas about the capabilities of human beings.

By the time of release of the film, we have spent about fifteen hundred hours with them. Each time we come back from these journeys unable to speak. The space we have been to transforms our vocabulary that thus far seemed to describe the world quite adequately. The new language soaks in, re-cultivates us. The language is so much more genuine, that we are no longer able to speak and think in terms of the past.

I think civilization is about the way we interact with the world. Had human beings opted for different principles we would see the world differently and would have a different civilization. 

Where does the contact zone lie? 

There’s no other medium but focused attention. No other reason but Love. There’s nothing else to talk about. That’s all they have here.

It’s about reestablishing the connection. Accepting the gift that is both a treasure and a calling. Everything about their usual selves is also about possibilities open to us.
