FIRST MOON RISING: A GIRL’S RITE OF PASSAGE INTO SACRED WOMANHOOD

This is the working title of our film, a collaboration between John Jordan-Cascade, Eugene, Oregon-based filmmaker and Georgette Star, educator, spiritual guide and mentor for girls based in Portland, Oregon.

“First Moon Rising” offers an inspiring glimpse into the heart of the Maiden Spirit Spirituality and Rite-of-Passage program, which is the gradual and intentional preparation for a girl’s conscious and celebrated rite of passage into sacred womanhood at menarche (first moon or period).

OUR MISSION

Contribution to cultural healing by portraying the use of ceremonial rites-of-passage to empower girls’ sense of feminine self-esteem, as well as to provide a context for their family and friends to offer wisdom, support, and intentional blessing.  To inspire parents, extended family members, friends, and other care providers for girls to offer of Menarche rites-of-passage celebrations.

To spiritually contribute to a collective vision of our world as a place where women and girls everywhere feel good about being born female and free to actualize their full human potential and through the gradual manifestation of this vision contribute to  the restoration of balance in the soul of humanity and the creation of a better world one girl at a time.
