ILLUMINATE Film Festival Presents An Evening of Conscious Film with Gregg Braden

Sedona, Arizona - April 15, 2019 - ILLUMINATE Film Festival presents the second 2019 CineMatters Series event with An Evening of Conscious Film with Gregg Braden: You Are Wired for Greatness. The event will be held on Sunday, June 9th at the Sedona Performing Arts Center, 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Rd, Sedona, AZ 86336 at 6:00 pm. Tickets are $35 in advance.

Gregg Braden is a five-time New York Times best-selling author, researcher, educator, lecturer and internationally renowned as a pioneer bridging modern science, ancient wisdom, and human potential. Gregg has presented his discoveries in over 30 countries on six continents and has been invited to speak to The United Nations, Fortune 500 companies and the U. S. military. He has also written 12 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages.

The United Kingdom's Watkins Journal lists Gregg among the top 100 of "the world's most spiritually influential living people" for the 5th consecutive year, and he is a 2019 nominee for the prestigious Templeton Award, established to honor "outstanding individuals who have devoted their talents to expanding our vision of human purpose and ultimate reality."

The event includes film, a Q&A and Reel Healing (an immersive experience that allows the audience to deeply integrate the film's concept(s) into their lives) with Gregg Braden in-person. ILLUMINATE will honor Gregg's 30 years of research and teachings bridging science, spirituality and human potential with its annual Conscious Visionary Award.

This evening of film explores the extraordinary capacity humans have to heal themselves through interviews from the documentary HEAL with luminaries Dr. Joe Dispenza and Marianne Williamson, as well as bonus interview footage with Gregg Braden. The audience will learn how the teachings of ancient cultures are validated by modern science and teach how to become the greatest versions of ourselves.

After a brief intermission, ILLUMINATE will screen Tales of Everyday Magic: Entanglement, a feature narrative based on Gregg's teachings and part of a film anthology produced in part by Hay House. Entanglement is based on ideas from Gregg's book The Divine Matrix. Actor Xander Berkeley (Walking Dead, The Mentalist, CSI, X-Files) plays the lead in this film. Entanglement teaches that we are not only wired for greatness as individuals, but we are connected to a larger universal oneness that supports us.

"This program teaches us about new advances, new paradigms, new ways of being," says Danette Wolpert, Executive Director of ILLUMINATE Film Festival. "Film has the power to transform perception and expand what is possible."
