Awakening the Divine Within

Awakening the Divine Within is a feature length documentary which invites the viewer to rediscover an enchanted cosmos in the modern world by awakening to the divine within. The film examines the re-emergence of archaic techniques of ecstacy in the modern world by weaving a synthesis of ecological and evolutionary awareness,electronic dance culture, and the current pharmacological re-evaluation of entheogenic compounds.

The film documents the emergence of techno-shamanism in the post-modern world that frames the following questions:

- How can a renewal of ancient initiatory rites of passage alleviate our ecological crisis?
- What do trance dancing and festivals celebrating unbridled artistic expression speak to in our collective psyche?
- How do we re-invent ourselves in a disenchanted world from which God has long ago withdrawn?

The film invites the viewer to consider how answers to these questions lie within the consciousness of each and every human being, and are accessible if only we give ourselves permission to awaken to the divine within.

Featuring: Alex Grey, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Stan Grof, Marilyn Schlitz, Ralph Metzner, Terrence McKenna, John Markoff, Daniel Pinchbeck, and Kat Harrison among others...
