Television Production
Karen O'Leary Engelbart's television productions include scores of interviews with internationally-acclaimed authors including Sylvia Boorstein, "Funny, You Don't Look Buddhist;" John Beebe, "Integrity In Depth;" Douglas Engelbart, Co-Evolution and Collective I.Q., Huston Smith, "The World's Religions;" and Leonard Shlain, "Art & Physics."
Co-founded, produced and hosted by Karen Engelbart, "The Quest," features thought leaders and visionaries in the realms of religion, education, social work, philanthropy, psychology, spirituality and bioethics. In its initial year, "The Quest" was reviewed in the press as a program similar in stature and significance to Bill MoyersÂ’ PBS series on myth and the hero's journey with Joseph Campbell. Cultivating cultural and cosmic heroism, leadership, integrity, commitment, justice, and charity are chief goals for the program. It was also created to promote understanding among diverse faith traditions and to inspire in viewers a deeper understanding of and commitment to their own values and beliefs.
