Our movie will be about the compelling life a young man nicknamed Powder (played by Sean Patrick Flanery). Powder is an albino teenager with little social skills, raised in his grandparents basement, because he’s sensitive to sunlight. He was born with special abilities: E.S.P, telekinesis, and a sense of connection and empathy for all living things. He literally has an electric personality, since electricity is attracted to him and he is able to emit an electric current through his body.

To the small town he lives in, he appears to be a freak of nature. His genius mind, and his odd appearance seems completely out of place... and he frightens almost everyone, even though he has a pure heart. Yet his science teacher (Jeff Goldblum) and a caring social worker (Mary Steenburgen) discover that he’s not a freak, but a prodigy.

Once his grandparents pass away and their farmhouse is repossessed, Powder quickly learns that his longing to return to his childhood home is much more than he ever imagined. Everyone knows on some deep level that this world is not our home. And everyone has to face the fear of letting everything go, in order to come to the safety and certainty of what can never be lost— our one eternal Self. If we choose healing, then we give our consent to be unravelled from every ego belief, and discover what healing really means. Powder doesn’t know it, but he is a healer and he came to share miracles, before he awakens and leaps back into heaven!

In this exciting class, we’ll illuminate some of the most recent and challenging ACIM Workbook themes...
I trust my brothers, who are one with me. [CE W-201.1:1]
All that I do, I do unto myself. [CE W-216.1:2]
Only my condemnation injures me. [CE W-218.1:1]

What would it take to fully heal the belief that we can be unfairly treated or falsely accused? And how do we give love in the face of seemingly unfair and adverse situations? Powder will teach us, because his pure heart always shines through, and reminds us we are deeply interconnected with each other and every living thing. We are part of everything (preview to that scene in movie💛💖💛).

We aren’t here to be a victim of the world we see, but we came to heal the belief in the perpetrator and the victim in our mind. Who could be to blame when a victim standpoint is no longer equated with innocence? Let’s find out about true innocence with Powder and step above the battleground and into inspiration.

May we all be blessed to claim God’s grace and be happy in our true purpose,✨
Brian and Alexandra ✨💖✨

Please note:
RSVPs on meetup don't reflect actual event attendance - expect at least 10-15 participants at each movie event. The majority of attendance comes from our email list. We love to have newcomers from meetup join!

Conscious movie watching is not primarily about entertainment.
And it has nothing to do with movie critique. It’s about becoming
proficient in mind watching and honest feeling. Expect ample time
devoted to the teachings of ACIM in conjunction with the movie.
We will pause the movie at some points to share ideas and bring light
to the topics at hand. Please settle in before hand with minimal distractions.

We accept and appreciate donations if you feel inspired.
This is a free gathering.
We use all donations toward our mission of bringing peace.
