The world is begging for us to AWAKEN to the kinship of all creation as ONE. This course, through the use of award-winning films, offers one way to learn the stories of other peoples who share this Earth and these times. We will ponder how we can learn from each culture their wisdom, values, and ethics for making life choices. Most of the films allude to the power of the feminine spirit, struggles, and mother-lines of grace. All of the films present mirrors through which we can reflect on our own life-experiences.

The group will check in with each other and then view the full-length film. After the film we will individually reflect on the wisdom that the story offers and where it connects with our own lived experiences. Then we will share insights with one another through circle process.
