By using everyday situations and guiding you through thought experiments and exercises, Donald Gordon Carty’s sessions are filled with valuable ideas interwoven with inspiring messages, and visual aids. Donald does an excellent job of peeling back the layers and revealing the disconnects in much of our thinking, beliefs, desires, and choices--contradictory beliefs held at the same time with no apparent awareness. Once you have seen your own mind with the filtered lenses removed, it is impossible to remain the same. That is why so many have praised his work as being absolutely life-changing--not just an event--but a transformational experience!

Like no other medium before it, the popular movie presents the potential of a new power for illuminating the depth of human experience. Awaken employs that power as a tool to increase consciousness. This concept offers more perspective on life, prompting the viewer of a film to step back from his or her problems in order to feel less insecure, worried, or discontented. Using films for self-improvement allows a shift in perspective when viewed with conscious awareness. 

When dialogue, a variety of communication techniques and exercises and tools are used to process this movie-prompted experience, healing and transformation can take place. The “awaken” event relates solely to the meaning making process of the individual's direct experience.
"tell me and I will forget, show me and I may remember, involve me and I will understand." Confucius.

Films have a powerful effect on us because they clarify values, dramatize solutions, integrate logic, emotions and intuition, introduce options for solving problems and are life affirming.

These tales can teach, lighten the heart, provide psychic shelter, heal wounds, illuminate our innocence, encourage compassion and create a sense of wonder.

The Personal Development Institute invites you to experience a single event that just may awaken the stranger within you. “Awaken Cinema Circle” will combine a series of separate forums into one single event, and will dare the participants to envision, believe and create a new view of themselves and the world around them. Presented through a series of blockbuster independent films and discussion forums, Awaken predicts, the sleeper must awaken.
