Symposium+Video+Content

This page provides and overview and some tips on managing the audio-visual slides and videos that are a key component of the Awakening The Dreamer / Changing The Dream symposium.

While you can use the Symposium DVD available for purchase and play the content as it is provided, if you want more control to change the sequence of how the content is presented, hide slides or add in your own content then the best option is to obtain a copy of the video files and a presentation slides that sequence how the slides and videos are displayed.

You can download the slides from the Pachamama site: [] or ask around your community of facilitators to get a copy - the files are large at around 4gb in total.
 * Where can I get the content?**


 * Video Files versus Slide Presentation Software**
 * The presentation format is a slideshow that is a combination of normal slides with text and images and slides that have had a video file attached (linked).
 * You need BOTH a presentation file that has the slides and where you sequence the content and the video files that are linked to it
 * The presentation file is available as both a Microsoft PowerPoint file (for PC's) and a KeyNote file (for MACs)
 * The video files are all in the MPG format and work with either the PowerPoint or KeyNote presentation
 * The Video files AND the presentation file need to be in the SAME FOLDER for it to work - if you copy the content to another computer or portable drive then copy the FOLDER that has both the video files and the presentation file
 * Some slides are just music with images - these are also linked video files in the MPG format


 * TIPS - PC / Micrsoft PowerPoint**
