Reality Sandwich and Disinformation present…
Sneak Preview of 2012: Science or Superstition
Discussion with Daniel Pinchbeck and Gary Baddeley
Come out for a night of thought-provoking cinema and conversation on one of the most fascinating subjects of our time. On December 21st, 2012, the “Long Count” of the ancient Mayan Calendar comes to an abrupt end, finishing off a grand cycle that spans 5,125 years. Some believe it portends an apocalyptic End Times of earth-shattering cataclysms; others disagree, claiming the date as the start of a new era of enlightenment and advanced human consciousness.
The rising popular interest in the 2012 date is a phenomenon in itself, and may indicate a growing awareness that major changes are rapidly taking place in the world. With natural disasters occurring more frequently, and especially in the face of a deepening financial crisis, it appears quite possible that we are heading for turbulent times in the next four years. But alongside these dark scenarios, many are also experiencing profound synchronicities and heightened intuitions, suggesting a powerful shift rising up in the human psyche.
Is the 2012 transformation merely an archeological myth? Or is it a scientific reality, manifesting before our eyes? The new documentary film 2012: Science or Superstition explores these questions, probing deep into the facts and philosophies behind the approaching Mayan climax. Released by The Disinformation Company, the film lives up to the label’s reputation for objective, challenging inquiry. A broad range of scholars and authors are featured in exclusive interviews, including Graham Hancock, John Major Jenkins, Alberto Villoldo, astronomer Anthony Aveni, and Daniel Pinchbeck. The film is slated to hit the screens later this year – on December 21st, to be exact.
The film will be followed by an interactive discussion with Reality Sandwich’s Daniel Pinchbeck (author of 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl) and the film’s writer/producer, Disinformation’s Gary Baddeley.

“HEAL” Invitation To Our One Year Anniversary
We are celebrating our ONE Year Anniversary of SEED Gallery, it has been a serious year full of many facets of beautiful experiences. We would like to invite you to gather and celebrate the hard work and honor all the artists that have helped made SEED grow! The Revolution Won’t Be Televised. Come and spread some love =)
Group Show. Mystic art is spirit expressed into matter. A mystic artist receives and transmits revelation, providing their art as a medium for messages from the divine matrix of Creation. (Alex Grey) Creating a work of art is like creating a new language, the language that communicates with the soul, the ability of transcending meaning without any boundaries. Art communicates what words cannot. The emotions of a human are dynamic. The spark within all of us can cause a wave pool of ideas that could lead to a better quality of life. The act of creating is a cathartic expression, a source of comfort, a way to expend and understand our trials and tribulations. Seed Gallery is bringing to the forefront art that has been used for healing by the very act of creating it in the new exhibition “HEAL.” Our opening reception is a celebration of the creativity and the resilience of the human spirit. The works of Fugen Bacaz, Gizem Bacaz, Allyson Green, Sarah Wellington, Blaq, Nemo, Satoshi Sakamoto, Amy Angeles, Ryan Hopkins, Ariana Mirabile, Mike Collins, Takun Williams, Salma Shamy, Bernardo Corman, Andrew Maishman, Takun Williams and Alfredo Manzo, Ralph Sanders, France Garrido, Steven Peabody, Steve Shorts, Caroline McAuliffe, Christina Fuentes, Doug Oneil, Philippe Garcesto, Allison May Dzielak, Jon Entwhistle, Analiese Desaw and other artists will further detail the process of healing through creation.
