The Institute for Spiritual Entertainment Los Angeles is an up and coming new community here in Los Angeles. Our purpose is to promote the new genre of films called Spiritual Cinema/Transformational Media. The Los Angeles community is one of over 100 ISE communities worldwide.

ISELA's mission is to create and produce movies as well as other media that awaken the truth within us in order to inspire individual and social transformation. The idea is to ask such questions as "who are we?" and "why are we here?" provoking change toward higher consciousness and awareness. Our intent is to assist others in making films from their highest place while expressing their true selves. Our long-term goal is to build a fully functional production studio with a focus on making films and other media that are spiritual and empowering in nature.

In September of 2004, ISELA became a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization under the National Heritage Foundation. Our community meets once a month so that we may network with like minded individuals and develop a close bond to support and encourage one another in our common goals. In addition, we hold special events such as screenings, workshops, speaker panels, and other social activities on a regular basis. Guests and new members are always welcome.

At ISELA, we emphasize spirituality rather than any one particular religion, being all inclusive, rather than exclusive…learning from and honoring all religions, philosophical and psychological view points. Oneness is our underlying foundation, instead of separation. In order to help heal the planet at this important time and empower one another to evolve, we choose to positively influence each other in a more effective manner through film and media. By showing inspiring stories, such as examples of personal growth, human triumph, insight, courage, love, belief in that which has not yet been seen, etc., we can affect the viewers on many levels: subconscious, emotional, mental, and spiritual.

It has been said that our brains or minds are the computers of our souls, containing all the information of human existence on this planet, past and beyond. In our films, we look to creatively find ways to awaken these truths, healing and transforming our lives, bringing not only ourselves, but also those who watch, to a higher level of understanding, enlightenment, and consciousness.
