Having met with commercial success over their respective careers, Golden Flower Network partners have come together in the collective New Earth Era. GFN maintains a vision of positive social change through emerging opportunities in the arenas of Worldwide Edutainment.

The Golden Flower Network is concerned with the creative principles involved with Spiritual Cinema, a.k.a. films that exhibit independent, alternative, spirit-focused attributes. We invite all those interested in non-mainstream films and filmmaking to join the discussion. What does Spiritual Cinema mean to you? What kinds of themes would you like to see exploration of? What does humanism in film look like to you?

We like documentaries and other genres that essay human struggles for truth, freedom, justice, and other noble principles. We like transcendent and transporting photoplays that evoke the nobility of the human search for meaning.

Artist and Activist Tessa Lena Fights Robots and Makes Love
Tessa has proved herself ultimately adept at denouncing global evils of all kinds, including the deep-state corporatist agenda, the Covid lockdown, the 'war all the time' agenda, and abuses of power wherever they lie. She practices this denunciation like a fine art, and it is beautiful to behold.
Why is Charles Lloyd One of the Most Important Musicians Around Today?
With over 60 years in the music biz, Charles Lloyd has compiled an astonishing list of wide-ranging material. He has played in a wide variety of musical conglomerations, featuring an impressive array of players, including Keith Jarrett, Jack DeJohnette, Bill Frisell, Michel Petruccianni, Steve Gadd, and many more.
The Search for Spiritual Intelligence in the Age of the Nonsensical
It’s official: we are all living through the Age of the Nonsensical. It’s also the Age of Official Fakery, the Age of Deception, and the Age of Artificiality. This Age can also have many other descriptors attributed to it. Fill in the blank yourself with your own description of these times we now suffer through, and which, for us who identify as spiritually intelligent, is a source of constant insult to our sensibilities.
What Is the Future of Writing and Acting in Hollywood and Beyond?
With the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and Writer’s Guild strike, one thing to be considered is, What future in Hollywood can writers and actors look forward to? The trade papers say deals have been struck – compromise is immanent, and soon all parties in Tinsel Town can walk away from the table satisfied. But, verily, money and contracts are only part of the equation.
The State of Spiritual Cinema and the Human Soul
How do we reconcile the principals of spiritually-edifying cinematic art with the kind of world we live in? There are pronounced diminishing returns in this area of reckoning: For, as our world falls to pieces all around us, and is evermore in need of the healing arts, the more the healing arts as readily-available and applicable tool eludes us.
Who Was Michel Petrucciani, Giant of Jazz Piano?
Michel was born in the hamlet of Orange, in the Cote d'Azur, France, in 1962. His father, Tony, a jazz guitarist, gave him a toy piano when he was three or four years old, which the young boy smashed up because, "the piano keys looked like teeth that would bite me". He could not have known it, but he only had thirty-six years to live his life. From the time he met Charles Lloyd in 1981 to his death in 1999, he only had eighteen years or less to pack in all his musical ambitions and aspirations.
