Notes on Presentation by Pat Hamilton (Sunday 13:30 - 16:00)
What is so important about movies?
The best movies can engage us on a deeper level. Much deeper than one would realise, especially when we look closely at the Hero's Journey. We are all heroes in our own life - every day, project or goal we set is a journey and we all have the potential to change in the process. Movies can act as a mirror where we can be affirmed or confronted. Transformation can be experienced when we engage with the Archetypes who are within us. Getting to know our strengths is just a important as coming to terms with our weaknesses.
Movie: “Collateral Beauty” starring Will Smith.
We travel with Howard (Will Smith) as he flounders around in the Belly of the Whale of grief and despair until his companions come up with the intervention which has the capacity to either kill him or heal him. When I walked out of the theatre after seeing this movie, my daughter said, 'Well, I don't know about you, but I think we have just seen the best movie of the year" - and that was in January 2017! She was right. It engaged me on so many levels. I could identify with every character, while watching their transformation from fragmentation to wholeness. It is inspiring. Please enjoy watching this movie in preparation for attending the presentation on Sunday 29th April.
