Acting Through The Lens of Love: A Holomovement Workshop: 10:15 - 11:30 AM

Scarlett Lewis made a courageous choice after the brutal murder of her 6-year-old son, Jesse—she chose love over fear. In this powerful presentation, Scarlett shares a life-changing formula she discovered through a message Jesse left behind, revealing how love can be put into action in every thoughtful response.

Through the Choose Love Movement, she has created no-cost solutions that are now taught in all 50 states and 135 countries, helping individuals of all ages grow through adversity, and be strengthened by their experiences. Now, in collaboration with the Holomovement Visioneer Emanuel Kuntzelman, this message expands, uniting love quantum science and holistic transformation.

The Medicine of Movies with Sheva Carr: 2:00 - 3:00 PM

What does it mean to "look through the lens of love?" Can movies help us do that, not just on screen but in our lives? The word “Movie” comes from the words “moving pictures.” But great films don’t just move pictures across a screen—they move us. They move us emotionally and move us into action to create changes that can impact our own bodies, our lives and even our world! They can alter our perspectives- whether we’re the ones creating the film or experiencing it. In 1 hour experiential and interactive workshop, learn leading edge neuroscience about the heart and brain, that shows us how we as filmmakers and audience members can deliberately look through the lens of love to create movie experiences that serve as meaningful medicine for the evolution of our souls. Leave with awe and wonder about how we and the world work, and how our works of art can become change agents for the elevation and revelation of higher expressions of life and healing for humanity and all living things.
