"Aware is a captivating introduction to consciousness, expertly weaving insights from science and spirit, persuasively inviting mind and heart to embrace and explore the mystery within."
- Don Hoffman, Professor Emeritus of Cognitive Sciences, University of California-Irvine
Bullfrog Films Presents:
AWARE: Glimpses of Consciousness follows six brilliant researchers, approaching the greatest of all mysteries from radically different perspectives, from within and without: through high-tech brain research and Eastern meditation, by scientifically exploring inner space through psychedelic substances and by investigating the consciousness of plants. Scientists are arriving at new insights - some have been integral to Indigenous knowledge for millennia.
