Greetings,
Occasionally I send this notice to all the 3,000+ people who have signed up on our more than 25 listservs. The focus of this post is to simply let you know the activities of the site. We are adding material daily... and this post is a simple snapshop of the highlights. The site is made up of categories: 

Food, Energy, Awakenings, Transportation, Happiness, Housing, Soul, Money and Latest News. (they are all accessible from the home page at: http://www.hopedance.org/)

I sense that many of us are feeling SHiFTS all over, whether they are externally caused or welling up from internal unravelings... its all the same. My "job" or livelihood or gift that I share with you is to navigate and document important news and insights that can assist in this new world that is unraveling / emerging / unfolding...

FiLMs that I have been screening reflect those changes 
(links include trailers, dates, summaries, prices, etc.). 

For FiLMs in May for Santa Barbara please see: 

For a FiLM gig in SLO with 6 films all day long (May 22), please click here:

For a mini film festival in Ventura (May 14), please click here:

I will be traveling to northern california with some of these films that I have acquired permission to screen in July. Not sure of the dates yet but please correspond with me if you wish your town, home, library or cafe to be the venue of some screenings.

Some FiLM Highlights:
Awakenings is 10 minutes and is totally activational:

A very short (42 sec) summary of a book Im reading Aya: A Shamanic Journey:

If you havent seen I AM I totally recommend it... and to have it shown throughout the indy and some mainstream theaters is awesome!
Im in the process of acquiring it and taking it with me wherever I go.

and many more trailers, shorts, book summaries on video:
