Workshop for the General Public
For everybody who is interested in learning how to use movies for personal and spiritual growth:
Cinema Alchemy makes use of the impact movies have on us. It teaches us to watch films with conscious awareness as well as other powerful exercises, which are derived from different psychological and spiritual traditions. You will learn to use movies as a personal growth tool on a path toward empathy, awareness, and integration.
Building a bridge between your realizations in "reel" life and your experiences in real life can be transformational. Movie lovers learn to utilize future movie watching experiences for self-discovery and to reconnect with their essential Self.

Feb 15 - Feb 20, 2009: Big Sur, CA
