When I first heard that this film was about spiritual activism I was scared. I thought, I'm not one of those. I'm not one of those who stand on the lines with the little picketing things, I've never been arrested - but the more I started listening to the people we were interviewing I realized I have been doing this in my own way.
Suddenly it became really important to me to acknowledge all the ways that people can be active in their own life, that it doesn't have to look like a stereotypical "activist", that it shouldn't actually. This planet doesn't need a million of the same activists, we need people to be active in ways that are unique to them. That's when we start filling this amazing tapestry with all these beautiful rich colors and we're able to create a whole picture of activism.
That to me is divine.

The feminine has always been treated traditionally in religion and spirituality as earthly, as salty, as sexual, as sensual, as really grounded and being of action. And so the denial of that, the repression of the feminine, the repression of sexuality that we see in all religions throughout the world has led to so much stagnation and separation between people and their bodies, people and each other, people and this planet, and we're at a crisis because of that. This planet cannot survive without that connection.
