Join me this THURSDAY at 7pm for a special film screening hosted by Weaving Rainbows as we embark on an inspiring journey through the lens of 'Thresholds of Womanhood,' a documentary delving into transformative rites of passage on the journey into womanhood.

In this short film, produced by Venus Rising Media, I chronicle a 9-day Women’s Rites of Passage Initiation & Guide Training led by Lena Easter, the visionary founder of Earth Path Education.

The film beautifully celebrates the power of sisterhood, the vulnerability of shared experiences, and the sacred rituals that serve as catalysts for transformation.

Through interviews, intimate moments, and breathtaking visuals, it offers a poignant window into the profound impact of rites of passage work, emphasizing universal themes of resilience and self-discovery.

"Save the Date: March 29th! Venus Rising Media proudly presents "The Last Ecstatic Day" feature length documentary film.

We've teamed up with Scott Kirschenbaum, CCLD, and the Apocalypse Parlor to showcase an extraordinary film that brings death to center stage, sparking the creation of the Conscious Center for Living and Dying.

Film Synopsis: "Join Ethan Sisser, a young man battling brain cancer, on his poignant journey. Alone in his hospital room, he chooses to live-stream his last days on social media, drawing thousands worldwide to celebrate his courage. Yet, Ethan aspires to teach the world the art of dying. In pursuit of his final wish to capture his death on film, Dr. Aditi Sethi transports him to a serene house in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. What unfolds is a rare story: how a community of strangers comes together to support an unhoused man in his quest to die on his own terms."

Mark your calendars and be part of this compelling cinematic experience that challenges perceptions and opens conversations about life, death, and community.

Powerful stories have the ability to shift perspectives, influence culture, and create change in our world 🌎

It takes much determination, courage, and effort to be a filmmaker.

Congrats to the participants who went through our 4-month mentorship program this past Fall. This weekend, we closed out the program with a final film screening to celebrate and honor the dedicated storytellers.

These individuals have poured their heart and soul in their projects. It's been an inspiring journey to witness their process, progress, and perspectives.

Each filmmaker had the opportunity to bring their unique voice, style and vision to the table, crafting narratives that resonate with the core of the human experience.

I want to give a special shout-out to the mentors who've helped to guide, inspire and share their wisdom with these emerging filmmakers.

As a director, I aimed to create an immersive visual experience that truly captures the essence of participating in one of Kennedy OneSelf mesmerizing sound healing sessions.

In collaboration with cinematographer Austin Lottimer, we crafted a captivating video that spotlights the variety of instruments Kennedy skillfully uses in his sound healing baths. The video also integrates the serene sensations experienced by participants throughout the session.

It is with great excitement that I present to you this brand new video, a production of Venus Rising Media. I sincerely hope that you will find it engaging and insightful. This video is a testament to our commitment to delivering high-quality content to our valued audience.
