Critic's Choice

The Gates: Peabody Award Winner - 2008

Alive Mind Education is proud to announce that “The Gates” won the 2008 Peabody Award for excellence in broadcasting and film.

FLicKeR: “Recommended – three stars — Video Librarian”

"An insightful look at a figure perhaps more notable for his oddity and effect on others than his individual accomplishments, this intriguing profile is recommended."Video Librarian, May/June 2009

Through the Eastern Gate: “Recommended – three stars — Video Librarian”

"An engaging look at a trio of modern spiritual explorers, this is recommended. "Video Librarian, May/June 2009

Mystical Brain: “Recommended – three stars — Video Librarian”

"A single documentary obviously can’t resolve fundamental questions about the nature of the soul and the Cartesian mind-body dichotomy, but this one does offer a fascinating look at such profound matters without ever becoming either heavy-handed or dismissive."Video Librarian, May/June 2009
