This month's movie:
The Keeper of the Keys
An ingenious and funny film about the steps to a happier, more fulfilled life by Scott Cervine, the director of “The Shadow Effect.”  This film will remind you of familiar keys to life's happiness, and will introduce you to some new ones! The speakers are all fascinating people, including John Gray, Ken Wallace, Carolyn Finch, Molly Lord, and Jack Canfield. 

A cynical and defeated Michael (played by Cervine himself!), is the protagonist led through a process of revelation of the keys by a "spirit guide" (played by Scott's co-writer Robin Jay!). As the teachers tell their life's stories behind the wisdom they have shared in their highly regarded books, movies and workshops, they slowly dissolve Michael's resistance and in the end he embraces a new, spiritual and vibrant view of his life. 
Along the way we learn: Don't give up. Be your true self. Work on your relationships. Be present. Process emotional traumas. Improve your inner dialogue. Ask yourself what is your “What.” Take an action and watch the response of the universe. Learn how to meditate. Stop complaining. Embrace the fear. And you may hear some of these in a completely new way!

After the film we will share our insights and have an opportunity to commit to taking an action, and the rest of us will support you!

The film is 86 minutes long and in English. Written and directed by Robin Jay and Scott Corvine.

August 2012: "I Am"

This month's movie:

I AM


78 minutes in English. Written and Directed by Tom Shadyac
Contains some shocking imagery

Hollywood film maker Tom Shadyac has made a personal documentary that is the antithesis of his hilarious “Ace Ventura” and “Bruce Almighty.” A look at who we are and how we can operate at our best. It begins by asking what's wrong with the world and ends by discovering what's right with it. Tom recovers from a head injury with a new view of life, and goes on a world tour to interview people who have wisdom about the goodness in people. He talks to Desmond Tutu, Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky, an others.
Our discussion will focus on what we each can do to manifest our goodness, and what we each can offer to our community so that it too can contribute to the presence of goodness on the planet.
