Femme: Women Healing the World Screenings in July in Los Angeles





Finally, a documentary that addresses the issues of patriarchy, of women's rights, of our desperate need for partnership. Femme: Women Healing the World is a brave film that starts at the beginning, unafraid to talk about pre-patriarchal times, when women and Goddess were revered and people were more concerned about the We and the Us instead of the current climate of greed and selfishness, the I and the Me. Femme is unafraid to examine the relationship between religion and the oppression of women and the economic disparity that is the result of our following a patriarchal or male-dominated agenda.
With Red States and Republicans around the country taking away women's dignity and their rights to their own reproductive health, to abortions and birth control in the year 2013, never has such a film been more needed. With women doing 80% of the work with only 20% of the assets, never has a film been more important. With so many women retiring in poverty and austerity measures being thrust upon the poor, disproportionately affecting women and children, information in this film is vital to help shift consciousness toward a more equitable and sustainable future. With the daily assaults on our finite resources and Mother Earth, it is time to wake up and this film is a wake-up call!

Featuring Jean Houston, Marianne Williamson, Riane Eisler, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Sharon Stone, Gloria Steinem, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and numerous other women across the globe, including myself, speaking out on how we might change the world along-side our beloved men. Come see it and celebrate with your friends! If you saw an earlier screening, come again, you'll see the powerful final cut!

The Dalai Lamma said it would be Western women who would save the world. Certainly it can be women across the globe, stepping up, taking on their mantle of leadership, DEMANDING they no longer be diminished and oppressed under male authority, that can begin to tip the scales toward love, balance, peace and an inter-connection among us all. Nothing less is acceptable. Nothing less will save humankind and the planet.
