The 18th International SPIRIT Film Festival: Inspiring Hearts and Expanding Minds

November 20th-23rd, 2024

Parashakti joins the Tel Aviv Cinematheque for the return of the SPIRIT Film Festival, an annual gathering of heart-opening films, powerful lectures, and transformative workshops designed to offer inspiration, inner resilience, and unity during challenging times. This year's festival is more vital than ever, bringing a diverse range of spiritual content to help heal, uplift, and provide tools to manage the stress and anxiety that many are experiencing today. Here, through the beauty of cinema and shared community, the festival aims to create a space of hope and connection. 

The festival opens with the much-anticipated documentary The Wisdom of Happiness, directed by Barbara Miller and Philip Delakis, featuring the Dalai Lama’s reflections on inner peace and happiness. This intimate film invites audiences to find light and hope through the Dalai Lama’s timeless wisdom.

This year, Parashakti is welcomed as a special guest, a visionary in the healing arts, whose multi-faceted work will be featured throughout the festival. Parashakti will present her film Dance of Liberation, an evocative documentary exploring her unique movement modality designed to inspire personal transformation and spiritual awakening.

In addition to the screening, Parashakti will lead an experiential workshop using her Dance of Liberation® modality—a powerful movement practice that enables participants to connect deeply with themselves and others, releasing limiting beliefs and fostering inner freedom.

Parashakti will also showcase her sacred jewelry line, Winged Ones®, which brings her passion for ancient symbolism and the spiritual journey into the physical realm. Attendees will have the opportunity to explore her collection and learn about the symbolic inspirations behind each piece.

Festival Highlights

• Heartfelt Films & Expert-Led Discussions: From acclaimed international films to a special competition spotlighting Israeli short films, every screening is accompanied by expert lectures that delve into the themes and insights presented on screen.
