RENEGADE,
a film by Jan Kounen, 2004

A Cajun raised by Native Americans tries to keep the peace in a wild west town populated by a motley bunch of scoundrels. With a mysterious manuscript, treasure, mescaline, and journeys to the spirit world, this metaphysical Western, adapted from a French comic book, blends action, romance and mysticism into a film that is vividly psychedelic.

An Evening on Bio-Energy
Friday, May 20th
7:30 pm  - 9:30pm

This evening four presenters will discuss the subtle energies that surround, penetrate and emanate from the physical body.  Disturbances of the bio-energetic field, or aura, are said to result in illness, and we will examine various healing modalities for restoring balance and strength to the aura.

Alex Grey will present a slide talk on the cross cultural history of Bio-Energy, from Chinese acupuncture, through Anton Mesmer’s theories of animal magnetism, to current research on bio-photons, and including an overview of the art associated with the phenomenon.

Celebrated photographer, Nancy Burson, will show examples of metaphotography (spirit photography) and demonstrate how to see auras and feel invisible energies.  A short trailer for Nancy’s film, "Focus", which deals with energy and crop circles, will also be part of the program. 

Jodi Sorota teaches classes on personal growth, transformation & the creative process.  A metaphysical educator, channel, and professional artist, Jodi will demonstrate her vibrational healing through toning. 

Psychic healer, Vladimir Maximov, will discuss Russian psychic discoveries and research into the healing arts.  At the conclusion of the seminar, Vladimir will offer a group healing session in the Russian tradition.

Saturday, May 21st at 4pm.

Join Alex as he walks through the gallery with visitors and talks about the artwork and the Chapel space.
