Watch “Gardens of Destiny” documentary with Dan Jason

Dan Jason photo

I really admire what Dan Jason does. I first saw this documentary while doing research for a college project. That was a time of great soul search for me, when I was feeling that I wanted to do ‘something’, but didn’t know what. Watching “Gardens of Destiny” documentary made it clear to me, for the first time, that there is hope because people like Dan Jason exist. I knew that what I wanted to do was re-connect with the land, be a happy human, the best human I can be.

This beautiful documentary about Dan Jason’s “Salt Spring Seeds” of Canada was produced by Jocelyn Demers in 2009. In the film, Jocelyn Demers meets with Dan Jason and other seed, food and political activists to discuss issues of seed saving, organic food projection, GMO, cancer cures and relationships between people and governments. All these topics are presented in gorgeous settings of Dan Jason’s seed sanctuary and saturated with hope. Multiple solutions are presented, and it just looks so beautiful and inspiring.

Running time: 63 mins (8 parts)

Amazing prayer…of the US Army?!!

Men Who Stare At Goats

As I was watching the film “The Men Who Stare at Goats” (2009) I had mixed feelings. I really like the idea, but I kept wondering if the makers were mocking the ways of the energy. The story of the film follows a new kind of US Army unit, called New Earth Army. Its members use psychic powers to do such feats as remote viewing, cloud bursting and even heart stopping.

The film opens with an intriguing line ” More of this is true than you would believe”…
