Winter Solstice 2024 ✨ May we take a moment now to deepen our breath and invite the light back into our own hearts and minds, and into the places near and far from us where it’s most needed. ✨ Pic of my dear Mom ✨
It was a joy to co-host a very special film screening event for the @illuminatefilmfestival Patron Circle! We’re deeply grateful for those who recognize the value of films that light the way to a thriving future for all! ✨🌿✨
With some of my dearest friends and collaborators at the Environmental Media Association Awards this past weekend — Hollywood’s voice for the environment. 🌻EMA honors sustainability in film and tv production as well storytelling that brings awareness to climate solutions.✨@kitthomas.wiseplanet@juliajayes@jessicaklampe@spectral_q@iamscottiet@francesfisher ✨✨
One powerful way to build resilience in our immediate communities is to support our local Farmer’s Markets! 🫛🥕When we do this, we lift up the people who are caring for the land, the pollinators, and our local economy. Plus, you can avoid food wrapped in plastic and those silly supermarket stickers on everything... all while bumping into friends and making new ones. Truly one of the ongoing highlights of my week — month after month, year after year. 🥕🫛🍃
BIONEERS celebrates 35 years! I slipped away for 36 hours to join my Bioneers family and moderate a panel about @the_holomovement 🪷 with Emanuel Kuntzelman, @mighty_mar and Will Keepin of @grworldorg 🍃 We had a great turn out of kindred souls and my spirit was nourished by my Bioneers conscious activist community. Kudos to @1ninasimons and Kenny Ausubel for 35 years at the helm of this ever evolving game-changing conference and community! 🙏 @bioneers 🍃
It’s been 5 years since I left @deepakhomebase and moved to Santa Barbara. Feels like a full circle career moment for @deepakchopra to be offering the opening keynote at @illuminatefilmfestival next week. 🌜🌕🌛🪷
This film festival baby is being born in a little over two weeks at the @loberotheatre ✨We’re sold out of All Access passes but there are still single tickets left including a few for opening night on April 5th. 🌙 🐝🌙 We’re excited to share “films that light the way! This year’s poster was designed by the wonderful creatrix @treheart and we are so lucky! ✨
