I am excited to introduce you to my good friend,
Megan McFeely, and…
to Premiere! a segment of her soon-to-be film, As She Is.
As She Is is a film about one woman’s journey (Megan’s) to discover what the Feminine is. It is her journey. And, it is our journey as women, our journey as human beings. Megan is a filmmaker who is making (what I consider to be) this very important film.
Megan and I have been friends for years. We dance together, and we travelled through India together. We’ve shared some interesting, challenging, and hilarious!, times on this journey to know and live the Feminine.
In Megan’s words,
“WHAT AM I DOING?
I am on a  journey towards the center of my being.  I travel inward to see if I can find myself as I am…not as others or the culture wants me to be.  In doing so I reconnect to the sacred, the inner or the feminine part of myself.
It is the longing for wholeness or the deep question that draws me inward…and holds open a sacred space inside where something can be born. Â This journey toward the unknown started with a question because I did not really know. What is the feminine?
It is my willingness to be with the most uncomfortable of places…the emptiness, the silence, devastation, grief and the longing that continuously forges this relationship, teaching me to act from a connected place with greater awareness and responsibility.
I feel this  journey is my responsibility so that I can participate in the future…and become a guardian of life on this planet.
This is a film project about a journey toward wholeness. I continue to learn how to live this connection to myself…a never ending process of becoming.”
I feel strongly that this film is of utmost importance.
To give you a sense of the beauty that is woven throughout this film, Megan has shared this interview with us. This is the premiere showing of a portion of her interview with Aleutian Elder, Illarion Merculieff, about the feminine way of teaching:
The Intelligence of Our Natural Way of  Being, from As She Is - {A premiere!}
“The most important lessons in my life – from age 5 to age 13 – I got from experience, my own experience.”
~Â Illarion Merculieff
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know how often I speak to this – of trusting your own experience, unmediated – this rich unfolding of the greater intelligence that moves through you.
As you can see and sense, this film is bringing together wisdom much needed for our times from many different sources.
What you can do to help bring this film into being:
Over the years, many women have asked me where they might come to know the Feminine. They’ve wondered if there are role models, or archetypes, or images that might help guide them to understand what it is that is unfolding within them, and unfolding in our world.
To me, this is one of the reasons As She Is is important to support. We are longing for something, hungering to know something, yet what this is is not necessarily visible yet in our world. We can know it from experience, yet so much of what we’ve been taught and acculturated to believe clouds our eyes and covers our ears when it comes to knowing.
We want to know, yet where do we go to learn? Yes, from our own experience. Absolutely. And, we also are being guided from many different places, from many wise voices. As She Is gathers and weaves these wisdom voices into one film for us all.
We hunger to know, and for me this is one of the most important reasons to help fund this project. We can help ourselves find this way home.
If we value coming to know wisdom that will help guide us to a better world, we have a way to help make that happen.
If As She Is resonates with you, and you feel this matters to you, please donate – and please share. As of today, March 27th, she’s raised just over $11,000.00 of her $44,000.00 goal.Â
It’s going to take some creative, generous gumption on our part to reach the goal in the next ten days. One thing I’ve learned is that how we make things happen now is different than it was in the past. No longer is it up to a few people to create change in the world. Now it’s up to networks of committed women and men, you and me and the people we are connected to, and the people they are connected to.
There are 10 days left  in Megan’s Indiegogo campaign.
$1, $5, $10, $20 – or more – whatever you can give -Â each and every dollar brings this As She Is closer to completion.
We can be part of helping to bring forth a world where the feminine is valued alongside the masculine, a world where the feminine is valued and lived. We really MUST be the change we wish to see in the world.
