Womyn’s Movie Night
Thursday, April 14 @ 7-9:00 pm
This film series exploring womyn’s issues is free and open to the public. Discussion follows the screening.
Full Circle is a 1993 Canadian documentary, third and last of the National Film Board of Canada’s Women and Spirituality series, focusing on women’s spirituality in the Western World at the end of the 20th century, the Goddess movement and feminist Wicca new religious movements, as the preceding Goddess Remembered and The Burning Times featuring neopagan activist Starhawk.
In this documentary, authors, teachers, social activists and feminists explore manifestations of contemporary women’s spirituality in the Western world. Drawing on the customs, rites and knowledge of the past, Full Circle envisions a sustainable future where domination is replaced with respect. At the centre of these discussions is a reverence for the Earth.
