Transformative Journeys in Film: Awakening to the Eternal Now
Jul 07 - 14 Begins in 1 month
with Francis Lu & Brother David Steindl-Rast
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour. —William Blake
Since movies began, luminous actors and actresses have depicted journeys that transform human consciousness. This seminar will show fourteen feature films (1939-2011) from the US, Japan, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Sweden, and China including some films not seen at our film seminars since 2006, with our first two all-time favorites among them.
