Meetings With Remarkable Women
"Wonderfully reflective." ~ Robert K.C. Forman, Ph.D., Assoc. Professor of Religion, CUNY
Filmed in 2010 and 2011, Meetings With Remarkable Women explores the spiritual paths of five women from varied backgrounds:
- Linda — an Australian spiritual teacher whose discipline of meditation led to a profound spiritual realization.
- Anima — whose childhood in India steeped her in spiritual traditions, but it took a journey to America before she realized her true desire was to find enlightenment.
- Jem — who lived the roles of wife, mother, engineer, musician, and writer before discovering Reiki and A Course in Miracles; paths that eventually led her to a spiritual awakening.
- Heather — from Christian to Atheist, Buddhist to free-form seeker of self knowledge wrestling with meditation, self-inquiry, and prayer.
- Deborah — who, after the tragic loss of her husband, launched a years-long spiritual path through ancient Buddhist texts and the practice of Yoga that culminated in the discovery of a deep and lasting inner peace.
Through their compelling stories of struggle and discovery, each woman tells an inspiring tale of change and revelation that is worthy of viewing time and again.

Praise For The Film:
Robert K.C. Forman, Ph.D., Author: Enlightenment Ain’t What It’s Cracked Up To Be: A Journey of Discovery, Snow and Jazz in the Soul, Founding Exec. Editor, Journal of Consciousness Studies, Assoc Professor of Religion, CUNY, writes:
Meetings with Remarkable Woman is a dive into the lives of some delightful women, wonderfully reflective. They tell their stories well, and we are drawn into their lives and insights. For someone, especially a woman, who is curious about what else is there, what else can we find that offers meaning and value, this movie is a gem.
A Viewer, shared her thoughts:
I cannot remember the last time a documentary was so effective at TOUCHING me (on an emotional level), maybe because I care so much about what they are saying.
