Emergence: October 23
Cultivating New Possibilities

What new possibilities arise when we choose to rebuild from the ashes? Following our series premiere, Emergence shifts our focus to the profound journey of personal and collective recovery after devastating climate events.

This film intimately explores how women, in particular, lead the way in navigating the aftermath of catastrophic disasters—like the total loss of entire towns. It offers a powerful testament to how we can emerge more whole, resilient, and true to ourselves after life-altering upheaval.

Emergence moves us past the initial shock of disaster and invites us into the active space of community restoration. Discover how deep loss can ultimately catalyze a stronger, more connected local community.

Scared Sacred: November 20th
Meeting Suffering with Compassion

How do we meet global suffering with compassion and transform deep grief into a sacred path? Scared Sacred takes us on a global journey through regions altered by the realities of war and disaster.

 This moving documentary explores how surviving and living within war zones—both large and small—can profoundly shake us, ultimately scaring us into a deeper sense of sacredness. It reveals the fragile, beautiful moments where human beings find grace in the darkest of places.

To support this journey of healing, our screening will include a guided Tonglen breathing meditation. Learn this powerful, ancient practice to help breathe in suffering and breathe out compassion for ourselves and the world.

Fierce Light: TBA
Living the Wisdom in the World

Knowing how to heal is just the beginning; the ultimate step is igniting change. Fierce Light concludes our series by exploring what it looks like to put our spiritual wisdom into direct, compassionate action.

This inspiring documentary spotlights changemakers across the globe who are using their fierce inner light to illuminate and heal the world. It serves as a living blueprint for how everyday people can stand up for justice, peace, and deep ecology.

Fierce Light leaves viewers with a powerful, immediate question: How can we use our own light right where we are? Walk away fully empowered to bring this sacred activism into your daily life and local neighborhood.
