First Moon Rising: A Girl’s Wisdom and Rite-of-Passage Journey
My newest film is now available to view on YouTube. You can purchase the DVD with more material on CreateSpace.com. First Moon Rising is a collaboration with Georgette Star, educator, spiritual guide and founder of Maiden Spirit, a young girls support program based in Portland, Oregon. The production offers an inspiring glimpse into the heart of the Maiden Spirit Spirituality and Rite-of-Passage program, which is the gradual and intentional preparation for a girl’s conscious and celebrated rite of passage into sacred womanhood at menarche (first moon or period).
