Deep Mindfulness Through Thematic Film Viewing

Showing films that promote a deeper understanding of self, this Earth, and the universe; fostering a deeper dialogue among people of different faiths and cultures - that's what this organization, EXPLORING CONSCIOUSNESS, is about. Not only that, but the films exhibited have never been seen before in South Africa and come from all over the world. In other words, this group also provides exposure to concepts and ideas that haven't been previously presented in that filmed format in the country.

Currently, Exploring Consciousness is screening Home, which was filmed by aerial photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand and narrated by actress, Glenn Close. Screenings started on February 10 and runs through February 23. Viewers can enjoy a drink and a snack.




Home depicts the fragility of Earth through stunning aerial views. Flying over 54 countries, the film shows the tremendous beauty and wonder of this planet. A lot has changed over a period of a lifetime, some 60 years. Can some of these changes that have burdened this planet be reversed after all this time. What will it take to reduce humanity's footprint and preserve this natural beauty?

Last month, A Quiet Revolution, part of the Women of Tibet trilogy, was presented for one showing. Filmed by Rosemary Rawcliffe, this film documents one of the largest nonviolent movements in world history. Fifteen thousand unarmed Tibetan women gathered in the streets in Lhasa to protest the aggressive occupation of their country in 1959. Many of these women were placed in jail or exiled. Survivors, daughters, and granddaughters, many currently living in India, carry on the nonviolent legacy of that time through their Buddhist faith, preserving their cultural and spiritual legacy of nonviolence.

Back in December, another one of Yann Arthus-Bertrand's films, Humans, had screenings for about a week. It was filmed over the course of three years in more than 60 countries. Three voices were prominent, those of people, the voice of Earth, and the lyricism of Music. Questions to ponder while viewing the film include: "What does it mean to be human? What is the meaning of life? Why do we keep making the same mistakes generation after generation?"

A thought-provoking organization, Exploring Consciousness helps to develop a deeper appreciation of culture and spirituality. At the same time, dialogue and discussion, based on the movie's themes, can help people direct trends and actions for a more positive future.
