As part of the 12th edition of the Encounters Festival, we are screening Earthchild, a film that we thought may be of interest to frequent visitors to the Harmonious Living website: Earthchild directed by Lesedi Mogoatlhe. Deep amidst the poverty, filth and crime of one of Cape Town’s most deprived and dysfunctional townships, a profound transformation is taking place. Nokuphiwo Jada, a charming, radiant embodiment of the philosophy she espouses, is changing the lives and attitudes of children at a Khayelitsha primary school. Her effective use of yoga, meditation and other life skills is evident in the testimony of her young pupils, who speak with passion and pleasure of the influence of simple relaxation and awareness techniques on their outlook and ambitions. This uplifting film juxtaposes an uncompromising view of the squalor and degradation of the sprawling surrounds with the spirit of youthful energy, humour and hope that is beginning to blossom in its midst, and makes a compelling case for the nationwide roll-out of the Earthchild programme.

This is the powerful story of the author's struggle with Multiple Sclerosis and how a healer's unusual prescription of mindful altruism - to 'give away 29 gifts in 29 days' - ignited her energy, her happiness, and invited more abundance into her life.
