Join us on Sunday, August 23, at 8 pm ET/6 pm MT for discussion of this month’s movie, Avatar. George Maddox will be the facilitator for this discussion. In this movie, a paraplegic Marine dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he feels is his home.
Avatar is a deeply spiritual movie. While giving us a natural world of beauty, it also presents a shadow side of life. The cost of seeing each other as “other.” Depicting the blindness, selfishness, and destructiveness of the path of warfare, violence, and use of technology to harm the environment, looking at others as subhuman or “collateral damage” are only a few of the themes. This movie also celebrates diversity and other ways of knowing. Like other tribal cultures, the native “People” the movie focuses on value harmony, simplicity, community, the spirit in nature, the sacred feminine, and much more.
