At Conscious Good. we host a film festival every year based on one of our 5 content pillars. In 2016, it was the Humanitarian Film Festival. In 2017, it was the Mindscape Film Festival.
This year we are thrilled to announce - The SPIRIT FILM FESTIVAL.
SPIRIT is the activating principle of conscious life, the vital essence animating the body and mediating between body and soul. Without SPIRIT, what is the point of having a body or a brain? SPIRIT completes us, gives us purpose and presence. SPIRIT is what connects us to other human beings, to other sentient beings, to nature and to other realms. We also know SPIRIT as a presence or attitude that pervades a thought, a feeling or an experience. That’s the Spirit!
Conscious Good’s Spirit Film Festival is a celebration of SPIRIT, spirituality, inspiration, relationships and consciousness.
Films may include Spirit related themes such as:
Spiritual Traditions, Universal Spirit, Afterlife, Heart – the power of, The Spirit of Other Sentient Beings - Mother Nature and Animals, Gratitude, Holiday Spirit, Generosity of Spirit, Relationships, Creativity… all as expressions of SPIRIT.
A Jury including filmmakers, celebrities, and spiritual leaders, will evaluate the films and award the following:
