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.
​
2. "I Origins" (trailer) a love story involving a scientist and his more spiritual lover. A story of transformation.
​
3. "The Fountain" (trailer) Another love story with excellent acting...this one about eternal love.
