The Vision

Here at BolderLife, we believe in a world that nurtures freedom and love and one that holds space for the whole spectrum of human experience. We believe in the power of standing and facing the truth with integrity, no matter how that truth manifests itself in tenderness, love, rage, or despair. We believe in building a world-wide community that practices inclusion, has difficult and courageous conversations, and embraces the beauty of diversity. We invite all stories from the hate-filled misguided adolescent to a mother who unconditionally loves her child, from the forgotten grandparent with Alzheimer’s preparing for solitary death to the brave and generous everyday hero, from the sick and fatigued cancer patient to the passionate lover, from the thriving and energetic athlete to the inspired and stretched artist, and all the vast and infinite ways in which life is embodied.

We believe that freedom, love, dignity, grace, presence and purpose are experienced through fearlessness and non-judgement of all moments of living, leading to more courageous and fulfilled lives for every person on this planet. Ultimately, we seek to celebrate and inspire solutions that promote a more conscious approach to living, whether on a personal, community, or global level, inspiring everyone to live a
Bolder Life.

The Mission

The mission of BolderLife is to explore adversity and diversity through film, theater, education, art, and conversation. BolderLife brings these exploratory modalities to adults and youth alike in local and international communities through our festival events and online platforms. Our festival topics and settings are designed to empower our audiences to openly question paradigms and explore new ways of thinking, communicating, and living.
