What is CAYL/Contribute As You Like?
The film is meant for everyone and we would not like to restrict access to the film to anyone. As Nowaten said, “It’s up to the people, all over the world, the common people of the world to bring about change.” We have decided to take the unconventional route and offer the film not in the usual transactional model but 'Contribute as You Like'. Please contribute what you ca for us to continue our Mission of spreading this essential message of the Earth Keepers.
What can I do after the film to be a better Earth Keeper?
The Earth Keepers teach us that we need to follow our own path, walk our own truth. No one single solution fits all. We all have to find a solution that serves us individually, so we can connect. Connect with Nature, Connect with yourself and Connect with your community. We wish you the best on your path.
Would Renata and Rolf attend a screening of the film?
Rolf and Renata are currently busy pursuing their own path on both a personal and professional level, and will not be able to attend screenings.
My family and I want to go on a similar journey. How do we go about this?
We have no concrete suggestions on that other than to tell you what we did. In short: We went without any plan other than to learn and grow. We saw it as an opportunity to do something completely different, an opportunity to find a renewed perspective on life. We think this is key: do not plan a journey based on someone else’s, but create your own. Once you start choosing your own path, you’ll see many doors will start opening to you.
