Dragonfly Ranch hosts movie screening
Dragonfly Ranch: Healing Arts Center is showing the film “Life After Life” featuring Dr. Raymond Moody at 7 p.m. Sunday.
Moving to the island from Nashville, Peter Shockey, who has been making movies for 45 years, will give an introduction to the movie he made following his father’s death. He will be available to answer questions after the showing.
The movie demonstrates that death is not the end and tells of people who experience their own death — and then return to life.
