Michael Bedar

Since catching the documentary filmmaking bug in 1999, I have been working nearly continually in bringing into existence and disseminating media messages that share wellness, sustainability, spirituality, understanding of culture, and peace.  I am grateful to all the filmmakers and teachers who have influenced me along this path. It has been most rewarding and creative, as a way to leave a mark for others, so that they might receive what so impressed me at different times in my life, and open the door to a transformative life. 

"Michael is in his life purpose, having contributed to the success of the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center while getting trained and certified by our Live Food Nutrition Intensives.  This strengthened his abilities for his work in the world." -  Gabriel Cousens, MD

Lighten Your Crew: As a passionate and award-winning documentary filmmaker and Tree of Life live food nutrition instructor, I know what fuels quality production and creative breakthroughs.  Let me give that to your team.

Back from the Brink: I healed from a toxic body-mind system that almost broke me down; and I got training so that I can coach you back, too.

Rise Quickly/Change Direction?  I used to live the pattern again and again of quickly reaching the perceived pinnacle of where I wanted to be, only to get bored and wander away.  If you know what I mean, I would like to empower your unique calling with what I've learned.

Networking: It is likely that I know someone in the community who is just who you're looking for to develop your optimal support and creative team.  Just ask the people who nickname me "Networker for a Higher Purpose."  Join my tribe!
