CONSIDERING HOSTING A SCREENING?
We are independent filmmakers who are dedicated to producing high-quality stories and health journalism which is widely available to everyone. But our work takes a tremendous amount of time and dedication to research, produce and share. Both My Year of Living Mindfully and The Connection each took three years to make. Although we are committed to making our blogs and podcasts freely available, when you buy our films, books, and screening licences you are helping us to make these projects possible.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN LICENCES?
1. Online streaming licence.
This licence should be used if you would like to share a streaming link of the film with a group people. It is appropriate for meditation teachers to share with students, for organisations wanting to share it with employees, or other groups such as film clubs, or meditation groups. Please ensure that you accurately select the number of people you want to share it with. In order to protect the film from piracy and to help the filmmakers continue producing films, the link will expire within 12 weeks of purchase. If the link is widely shared beyond the group you intended and you exceed the number of people appropriate for your license, the link will become inactive.
2. For Profit Screening Licence (single use):
This licence should be used if you are hosting an event and screening of the film for more than 10 people and planning on selling tickets or charging for entry. It is suitable for people running health courses and for-profit events. It can only be used once, so if you are hoping to host another screening in the future you will need to purchase an additional licence for your next event. If you are making a profit, please support the filmmakers by purchasing a licence.
3. Charity/Fundraiser (single use):
This is the licence you will need if you are planning to screen the film to an audience to raise money as part of a fundraiser for a charity. This is a not-for-profit licence. Consider this our contribution towards supporting your cause. We wish you the best of luck and great fundraising, conversation-sparking, world-changing success.
3. Retreats and Courses (multi-use)
This licence should be used if you run a health retreats, a wellness program or meditation courses and would like to screen our films as part of your business. We know that it may be difficult to keep coming back and buying individual licence so we have created this annual licence to cover you for all of your screenings.
WHAT ARE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF MY LICENCE?
The full T&C’s for your licence will included be in your download pack.
WHERE CAN I HOST A SCREENING?
Anywhere. You might like to hire your local cinema or arrange access to screen the film in your boardroom, yoga studio, local school, university theatre, gym, library or community hall. For that reason we have made all of our licences based on the number of people who attend your event not the location.
HOW SOON AFTER I BUY THE LICENCE CAN I SCREEN THE EVENT?
A Live Screening Licence – any time after you’ve purchased a licence.
Online streaming – as soon as you’ve received your screening link.
Retreats and Courses Licence – any time in the year after you’ve purchased a licence.
WHERE DO I GET THE SCREENING COPY OF THE FILM?
Host a Live screening – you will receive a link to download a high-quality HD movie file.
Online streaming – you will receive your screening link via email that you will be able to share.
Retreats and Courses Licence – you will receive a link to download a high-quality HD movie file.
CAN I SCREEN THE FILM DURING THE MEDITATION OR HEALTH COURSE THAT I TEACH?
Yes. But if you are earning an income from your programs then you will need to pay for a license. Imagine if you had spent three years developing a project without being paid and then people started using and sharing it to promote their own courses and for-profit events without acknowledging your hard work. By doing the right thing, you will ensure our sustainability and future productions. Every contribution makes a huge difference. Thank you for supporting our work.
HOW MANY SCREENINGS CAN I HOST WITH A LICENCE?
Host a Live screening – this valid for a single screening of the film. You will need to purchase a new license each time you want to host a new screening of the film.

HOW CAN I PROVIDE FEEDBACK ABOUT THE EVENT?
