Movie clips. There are some great resources out there about movies and messages; but for the life of me, I can’t remember any titles. What kind of audience is this? If it’s mixed religion, play it safe and stick with Star Wars. If they’re Christian, movies like Bruce Almighty work well.
What do you think? Answer below!
I have an idea. Be very careful, not all spirits, or forms of spirituality are good and/or safe to be messing around with.
are you an openminded person ot are you leaning towards christianity
here are some links

Jesus said investigate all things but keep the good
connectedness is the start of it
so try and find some topics on how we are all connected … the similarities that make us one
find connection in nature … animals , plants ….
how we all need each other to survive
take that even further with the universe and how the connection is there with the planets also
this could be a huge project .. you will probably have more problems with where to end than where to start :o)
ask them how they relate to the divine in their lives. ask them how they feel about spiritual paths other than their own, an present them with non-biased information about many paths, including those that include the Divine Feminine. There is a web site on religious tolerance, I think you can find it if you just google Religious tolerance. It presents lots of paths very objectively.
Also, I would ask them to find what the SIMILARITIES are between their spiritual path and other paths, in an attempt to see that we are perhaps more alike than different.
Another good thing might be to ask them to write down any pre-conceptions they might have about other paths, and to brainstorm together about some of the ideas that they had which might not be true, like having Christians find out about Wiccans, etc. It might be a lot of fun!
I hope this helps. I love questions like this, I am a teacher too!
Best of luck and Bright blessings,
