Films

​

  Curious about the need to add "Spiritual Emergency" to our understanding of mental health?

​

1. "Crazywise" (trailer) follows two people with serious disturbance who appear to be in spiritual crisis and may have been mishandled by the conventional mental healthcare system. We must ask: what would have been better for them?

​

Curious about the notion of reincarnation and karma--and how that impacts on our lives?

​

1. "Yesterday's Children" (full film for free) is based on a true story of family love. It's a feature length film with excellent acting.
