Director’s Statement

After years of uncertain attempts at meditation, my first silent retreat with Or HaLev and Rav James revealed something I never thought possible. By the fourth day, I experienced a profound shift that changed everything. This wasn't just another mindfulness practice – it was categorically different, leading to depths I hadn't known existed.

Watching others undergo similar transformations, I felt compelled to capture this process on film. Over three years and three retreats, I documented both the intimate moments of transformation and the practical elements that make them possible. What began as a way to work through anxiety and depression became something unexpected – a path to feeling fully alive, connected, and whole.
