Louis Audet Workshop
Using Feng Shui in Film Making
The skillful application of Feng Shui principles can contribute significantly to improving the entire filming process including the
bottom line. Louis Audet outlines many valuable contributions Feng Shui can impart during film making to ‘smooth out’ possible
financial issues, conflicts among producers, directors, cast & crew and resolve difficult set & location problems as well.
“Mischief” and “Bad luck” can be effectively transmuted thus creating positive work environments during filming as well.
If
you are involved in any aspect of the film making business, you must not miss this informative event.
Louis Audet is a
professional Feng Shui consultant and author of “Feng Shui Keys”. He has over 25 years of experience and has been featured on Inside
Edition and the new Akasha Entertainment film: Sacred Space. Louis is on the board and faculty of the International College of Classical
Chinese Medicine of Phoenix.Louis' career as a Chemical Engineer for 30 years gives him a unique scientific foundation to apply to

"Telling the truth in film, it's powerful" Lindsay will share her experience of how the effect of a film can be more powerful when
one comes from their experiential truth rather than just a belief. Also, as an Actor, how exploring the characteristics of a present
day challenge of your own, that is similar to the character's, makes the performance much more potent and can benefit your personal
evolution. Scroll down page for more info.

Lindsay Wagner Keynote Presentation Q&A
Sat. June 25, 2011 at 1:30 pm in Main theater
Each day from 10:30 to 6 pm, be sure to visit our metaphysical market, located throughout the Sunset Center, featuring psychics, healers
and local vendors. An art market will also showcase the work of talented artists, jewelers, and musicians.
Stephen Simon explains, “Film is the most powerful communication medium ever devised. Just as shamans used to speak to rapt
audiences around a campfire and pass down the culture from one generation to another, today's film makers are modern day shamans with
the power to ask the big questions. The Akasha festival 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.”
Actress Lindsay Wagner will be doing the Festival’s Keynote speech, "Telling the truth in film, it's powerful” and the cost is $10 at
the door or free for full festival pass holders. Lindsay will also be presenting a Workshop, "Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart"
on Sunday, June 26th from 2 -4 pm. The price for the workshop is $29 or it is included with the full festival pass.
About
the “Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart Workshop” With Lindsay Wagner:
Explore potent communications through inner-integrity
and experience a shift through the Oneness Deeksha energy blessing.
“The study and sharing of the integration of Body, Mind and
Spirit to awaken our amazing human potential has always been my greatest passion. 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”. Lindsay Wagner
Join Lindsay and explore how we perceive life through the stencil
of the mind and the power of inner-integrity for successful and potent communication. 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.

More about events with Lindsay Wagner:
Lindsay Wagner makes little distinction between her life as an actress, advocate, mother or author. What unites these
various parts is a commitment through her work and her personal life to exploring and advancing human potential.
Lindsay first
came to prominence in the critically acclaimed role of Susan Fields in The Paper Chase, but received household recognition worldwide
when she broke the mold for women on television with her iconic portrayal of Jaime Sommers. As she collaborated with the writers
“The Bionic Woman” became an inspiration around the world and in 1977 Lindsay won the Emmy for “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama
Series”.
Her now strong influence in the media and a desire to use that as a way to communicate ideas to help people in their
personal journey is demonstrated in so many of the films in which she starred, such as: "The Incredible Journey of Doctor Meg
Laurel", the struggle between naturopathic and allopathic healthcare (1979); "I Want To Live", the moral dilemma regarding capital
punishment (1983); "Child's Cry", child sexual abuse (1986); "The Taking of Flight 847", some root complexities of terrorism
(1988); "Evil In Clear River", the quiet rise of the Neo-Nazi movement in America (1988); "Shattered Dreams", on family
violence, which she also co-produced (1991); “Fighting For My Daughter”, highlighting the problem of teen prostitution (1995
); “Thicker Than Water”, expressing compassion for the animal kingdom and the importance of family (2005); “Four Extraordinary Women”,
the emotional effect of breast cancer on family members (2006). As a result of the volume of her successful productions she was often
referred to as the “Queen of TV Movies”.
Off
screen Lindsay is passionate about the study and sharing of holistic healing modalities, integrating mind, body and spirit.
For 25 years she has been the Honorary Chair of ICAN (Inter Agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect). She has also been heavily
involved in human rights, domestic violence, animal welfare and the environment.
From 2003-2006, in collaboration with the L.A.
County Sheriff’s Department, Lindsay co-facilitated a counseling group for convicted batterers and their families. Her work utilizes
a range of psychological and spiritual techniques.
For the public Lindsay facilitates experiential “Quiet the Mind &
Open the Heart” workshops and retreats. These programs are designed to help overcome our own personal challenges, while accessing
the peace and joy that is naturally within us. Lindsay offers these programs to the public as well as special interest groups as a
way of sharing, that which has greatly impacted her life.
“Every aspect of our lives will benefit from a shift in
perspective that ‘Quiets the Mind and Opens the Heart’.“ Lindsay Wagner
