Daniel Pinchbeck on Mind Shift TV
My new talk show, Mind Shift, debuts next week. The show appears on GaiamTV.com , a new subscription service that focuses on spirituality, yoga, and consciousness. I am very excited about this enterprise…
As we know, the mainstream media – particularly television – is deeply regressive, constricting the mass mind. For many years now, I have yearned to create a transformative television network. I am grateful to Gaiam for giving me this initial opportunity to learn and explore this arena. Through Mind Shift, we hope to bring serious attention to areas that get suppressed by the mainstream.
Of course, I would much prefer that Mind Shift was available for free online – but it is only because Gaiam produced the show that we were able to do it, and they do offer lots of good content on their site, including yoga and workout videos, and other talk shows on New Age ideas.
Our first episode features visionary artist Alex Grey and Michael Muhammad Knight, author of Tripping with Allah, on ayahuasca and Islam. Subsequent episodes feature comedian Russell Brand, Eve Ensler (The Vagina Monologues), musician Ben Lee, and authors including Howard Bloom, Richard Smoley, and UFOlogist Richard Dolan.
We are currently building the audience for the show – and I invite you to help with this if you want.
GaiamTV has an affiliate marketing program. If you have a mailing list of people who might want to subscribe to see this show and other Gaiam offerings, Gaiam can give you a link so you get a percentage of the revenue that comes into Gaiam each month. Christy at Gaiam (Christy.McConnell@gaiam.com ) can send you banners for your website, if you want them, and she can help you in other ways.
If you have a Blog, you can write about the show. You can ask me questions if you want. You can also send updates on Twitter (use #mindshift so we can track), or Facebook. If you have a newsletter, it would be awesome if you would say something about the show. Please direct people to www.mindshift.net .
Hopefully, if Mind Shift prospers, it will make it easier to produce more video content with a counter-cultural perspective.
Ultimately, we need a mass media that expresses humanity’s highest ideals and greatest potential, instead of one that keeps people trapped in fear and consumerism.
Please feel free me to message me with thoughts, questions, ideas for guests, etc.
Yours,
Daniel
