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.

Date:

March 14 - March 19, 2010: Big Sur, CA

Seminar for Mental Health Professionals

For mental health practitioners who want to learn how to use movies in their clinical work:

The practice of using movies as tools in therapy – in conjunction with established therapeutic methods – is becoming more popular. Used thoughtfully and creatively, the emotional and cognitive impacts of films can become a powerful ally in our work.

  • How a client's film experience can be utilized therapeutically.
  • What guidelines to give to clients.
  • What limitations to be aware of.
