Akasha is now the cinematic campfire around which audiences can gather to provide their own answers to the images, questions, and emotions flickering on a screen."

One of the most empowering realizations I've had is that our experience of any life circumstance is a function of personal perspective, more than the circumstance itself; that as our perspective changes so does our experience".

Experience beautiful music and the Oneness Deeksha, an exquisite, transformative flow of energy to help us on the journey of awakening. Lindsay is a Oneness Deeksha Trainer as well as a facilitator of other energy medicine techniques. "Shift your perspective... experience the difference."- Lindsay Wagner.

The festival is slated to screen a variety of dramatic features, documentaries, shorts, and animated films from around the globe. Vibrant music, cultural performances and fantastic parties are mixed with panel discussions with Hollywood insiders, metaphysical speakers, and film-making workshops.
This is the second film festival produced by Akasha Entertainment. In 2008, the Santa Fe Metaphysical Film Festival awarded a lifetime achievement award to actress Shirley MacLaine.

"Our festival celebrates the transformational potential of film," said festival director and Carmel resident Carolyn Cobelo. "Festival-goers will be in for a real treat as we present quality, cutting-edge films that deal with supernatural and paranormal phenomena, extraterrestrials, as well as transcendence, culture, and indigenous beliefs. These creative films have the power to take us beyond our ordinary senses into a world where fantasy, science, and reality can merge, acting as catalysts to open us up to compassion and insight."
