Conscious Co-Working, 22min., Mexico
Directed by Matt Crowe
Conscious Co-Working is an award winning heart-led documentary exploring the rise of spiritually conscious entrepreneurship and community in the digital age. Set in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, the film follows a global tribe of creatives, healers, spiritual digital nomads, and conscious entrepreneurs who are redefining work as a sacred act of self-expression, collaboration, and inner growth. Through intimate interviews, rituals, and raw moments of transformation, the film captures how a coworking space became a sanctuary for purpose-driven humans building businesses that align with soul and service. This is not just about work - it's about healing, connection, and the future of how we live and create together.
