I AM

I AM is the story of a successful Hollywood director, Tom Shadyac (LIAR LIAR, NUTTY PROFESSOR, BRUCE ALMIGHTY), who experienced a life threatening head injury, and his ensuing journey to try and answer two very basic questions: What s wrong with our world? and What can we do about it?

With a film crew of four, Tom visits some of today s great minds, including authors, poets, teachers, religious leaders, and scientists (Howard Zinn, Lynn McTaggart, Desmond Tutu, Thom Harmann, Coleman Barks) searching for the fundamental endemic problem that causes all of the other problems, while simultaneously reflecting on this own life choices of excess, greed and eventual healing.

We started by asking what s wrong wit the world, and ended up discovering what s right with it. Tom Shadyac
‘Amazing…’ –Ellen Degeneres

Everyone needs to see this film! –Bruce Cohen, Academy Award Winning Producer (American Beauty)

Entertaining and enlightening. The I AM Documentary is a spark of light and a work of love. –Marianne Williamson, New York Times Best Seller

Memoirs of an Ex-Hippie: Seven Years in the Counterculture

A one-man play by author and Oasis founder Robert Roskind, set to photos and the music of the era!

The counterculture of the 60s and 70s has been viewed as everything from naive to hedonistic. However, most of these views were formed by observing the movement from the outside. “Memoirs of an Ex-Hippie” offers a vastly different perspective, one developed from within. After graduating college in 1968, Robert Roskind hit the road for seven years. Roskind’s travels lead him into the heart of the counterculture–to Esalen Institute, Tassajara Hot Springs, Big Sur, Vancouver Island, the communes of Oregon and North Carolina, Altamont Pop Festival, Mt. Shasta, the Haight-Ashbury and the “motherland”–Northern California. His personal odyssey, sometimes profane and funny, sometimes profound and serious, reveals this tumultuous era as a cultural and spiritual renaissance that birthed many of the solutions to problems humanity now faces.

Robert Roskind is the author of twelve books including Rasta Heart: A Journey into One Love, The Beauty Path: A Native American Journey into One Love, The Gathering of the Healers, In the Spirit of Marriage and In the Spirit of Business. He is also the producer of a record-breaking PBS series and the organizer of over 200 One Love Events in the U.S. and Jamaica. He lives in Carrboro and operates the Oasis.

Healing Ourselves ~ Healing the Planet meditation.
with Barbara-Lynn Freed

Before we heal the Planet we need to first heal ourselves. Come join us in creating Sacred Space with the Guardians of the Directions, (Divine Beings that all ancient and indigenous peoples worked with), to receive healing energies and messages that will enliven your spirit and help you embrace your own heart’s wisdom. After briefly sharing of our experiences we will sit in meditation bringing Light and Love to Mother Earth and All Our Relations.

Barbara-Lynn Freed is a mystic, spiritual healer and teacher who believes in a holistic approach to life, and has a love for helping people understand the mysteries and challenges in their lives. Her 30-year eclectic background includes a four-year apprenticeship in Native American spirituality and healing, and independent studies in Women’s Mysteries, Archeo-Astronomy, the Mystical Branches of the World’s Major Religions, plus a cross-cultural study of ancient and indigenous people’s perception of the land, space, and time.

In 1992 she founded “Awakening the Heart!” spiritual healing practice, was ordained as an Alliance of Divine Love, interfaith Minister in 1993, and has practiced as a professional astrologer since 1980. After a year of spiritual retreat in 2009, she developed a cross-cultural, shamanic apprenticeship entitled: Resurrecting the Old Ways: Walking the Land and Honoring the Spirits in Right Relationship. http://TransformationalStudies.com

Welcoming Change and Releasing Fear
with Kezia Renee Lechner  Reiki Master and Intuitive Life Coach

I don’t need to tell you that we are living in a time of unprecedented change. All of us are now traversing terrain quite unlike anything we have ever experienced before and we all feel it. It requires great faith, courage, and humor too, when one can muster it.

Finding ways to ground oneself right now feels especially important, and being kind and compassionate to oneself is important too, as personal and collective fears are strongly arising, calling out to be healed and released.

Come join me and experience an evening of hands-on healing. If there is a small group, I will offer short individual healing sessions. If the group is larger I will work with as many people as I am able. Each month’s presentation is unique and a very safe, special and sacred healing space is created. All are welcome, whether or not you with to receive energy work, or simply wish to witness !

Kezia Renee Lechner recently moved to this area from Philadelphia.She offers private sessions and hosts a monthly, sliding scale Healing Clinic in Chapel Hill. Formerly a professional artist, she was a member of a National Artist’s Coaching Community for over a decade. Drawn to the Healing Arts, she became a Reiki Master in 1999, explored a number of other healing modalities and soon after established her own practice.

Over the years, as her sensitivity to energy and her intuitive abilities grew, she began to combine Intuitive Life Coaching with Reiki/Energy Healing, a blend she finds highly powerful and effective in helping clients move forward in their lives.

Creating a Conscious Relationship: What You Never Learned in School
with Steve & Pamela Moore
(FINAL WINTER PRESENTATION)

Join Steve and Pamela Moore for a fascinating evening that will change the way you look at your relationship. None of us went to “Relationship School” before selecting our partners. It is very easy to get lost in the moments of disconnection and recurring conflicts that never seem to get resolved. No one taught us what to do when our relationship gets uninspiring. Come to this dynamic presentation and learn where conflict really comes from, the brain science behind it, and how to deepen connection to your partner. This work is as much about enhancing an already great relationship as it is about repairing problems.

This talk is based in part on bestselling author and psychologist, Dr. Harville Hendrix’s work called Imago Relationship Therapy. He states “This is a revolutionary view of relationships: rather than leaving the relationship to find yourself, you find yourself through it.”

Steve & Pamela Moore are a real couple who love to share their expertise and their own relationship journey (bumps and all). Steve Moore, LCSW has been a psychotherapist for 30 years. He is a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist and his wife, Pamela is a Certified Imago Relationship Educator. Together they will present a one day couple’s seminar called “Creating a Conscious Relationship: The Experiential Seminar” on Saturday, April 1, 2017.

AWAKE
AWAKE: The Life of Yogananda is an unconventional biography about the Hindu Swami who brought yoga and meditation to the West in the 1920s. Paramahansa Yogananda authored the spiritual classic “Autobiography of a Yogi,” which has sold millions of copies worldwide and is a go-to book for seekers, philosophers and yoga enthusiasts today. (Apparently, it was the only book that Steve Jobs had on his iPad.) By personalizing his own quest for enlightenment and sharing his struggles along the path, Yogananda made ancient Vedic teachings accessible to a modern audience, attracting many followers and inspiring the millions who practice yoga today.

Filmed over three years with the participation of 30 countries around the world, the documentary examines the world of yoga, modern and ancient, east and west and explores why millions today have turned their attention inwards, bucking the limitations of the material world in pursuit of self-realization.

Archival material from the life of Yogananda (who died in 1952) creates a spine for the narrative, but the film stretches the dimensions of a standard biography. The footage includes stylized interviews, metaphoric imagery and recreations, taking us from holy pilgrimages in India to Harvard’s Divinity School and its cutting-edge physics labs, from the Center for Science and Spirituality at the University of Pennsylvania to the Chopra Center in Carlsbad, California. By evoking the journey of the soul as it pushes its way through the oppression of the human ego and delusion of the material world, the film creates an experiential immersion into the unseen realms. AWAKE is ultimately the story of humanity itself: the universal struggle of all beings to free themselves from suffering and to seek lasting happiness.
