(1977) This is the first feature film created by David Lynch, who went on to the "The Elephant Man," "Dune," many other films, and the popular television series, "Twin Peaks." Fans of the film include Stanley Kubrick, Mel Brooks, George Lucas, and John Waters. According to commentaries, Kubrick considered it his "most spiritual movie." The discussant, Dr. Mark James, has been intrigued by the film for many years due to its strange, evocative, dreamlike, surreal, primary process qualities. Dr. James is a psychoanalyst on the faculty of the Emory Psychoanalytic Institute. Presented by the psychoanalytic community in Atlanta and The Atlanta Foundation for Psychoanalysis.

John Dunne, Associate Professor of Religion at Emory University gives a lecture titled Embodying Nirvana: Meditations on Buddhist Mandalas.
For the casual observer, a mandala appears to be a beautiful, geometrical design, but for the practitioner of Buddhist tantra, the mandala is a bridge to an alternative reality in which the wondrous qualities of enlightenment are literally embodied. Drawing on traditional Buddhist theories and current work on the nature of human cognition, this talk presents the central features of tantric meditation on mandalas along with its connection to the transformation of mind and body.

Early in her career, Dianne McIntyre distinguished herself as a choreographer by creating dance works through improvisation. As her career has unfolded, she has turned to spirituality as a major theme. In this talk, Veta Goler will discuss McIntyre as a contemplative artist—an artist whose creative approaches are based in accessing the present moment, one who explores experiences of spirituality in daily life, and one whose works help viewers to connect with a deep place within themselves.
