Here is the Press release that we just sent out to the local papers...
"Dancing With Gaia" Could Shape Your World:
How Labyrinths, Henges, Sacred Sex and Landscape Dancing
Connect You With The Earth
Fairfax filmmaker Jo Carson's new documentary Dancing With Gaia makes the connection between earth energy, sacred sexuality, and the earth seen as the Goddess, or "Gaia". It will premiere Sunday afternoon as part of the Fairfax Documentary Film Festival on April 5th at 2pm, at the Fairfax Theater.
Dancing With Gaia takes viewers throughout Europe, the Mediterranean and the US. It highlights the sacred sites of many ancient earth-centered religions. With this backdrop, fifteen visionaries stir the imagination with new ways of looking at the world. They also explain how to release conditioning that keeps people from experiencing the earth as part of their own body, and provide tools to begin personally feeling the life of the planet.
Among the speakers are Monica Sjoo (1938 - 2005), co-author of The Great Cosmic Mother, Rediscovering the Religion of the Earth, Francesca De Grandis, founder of Faerie Nation and author of Be A Goddess!, geomancer Richard Feather Anderson, Cerridwen Fallingstar, author of The Heart of the Fire, Joan Marler, editor of Marija Gimbutas' The Civilization of the Goddess, and Fred Adams (1928 - 2008), founder of the early pagan group, Feraferia.
Director Jo Carson worked for 20 years to bring the film to completion, and feels strongly about her message: Our culture needs new myths to live by, which include the experience of earth and our bodies as sacred. As KPFA radio producer Joan Marler says, "As long as we conceive of divinity as outside or above us, there is no way we can change our course." But by honoring our relations with all beings, the sacred earth and our own bodies, we can create a future of balance and beauty. This insightful film shows April 5th, 2 pm at the Fairfax Theater, 9 Broadway in Fairfax. Several of the speakers will answer questions after the screening.
