Beloved Community,
Have you ever sensed that certain films carry codes of remembrance beneath their surface stories? That they serve not only as entertainment, but as portals into deeper awareness, collective archetypes, and soul evolution?
We invite you to a new offering for 2026:
Through a Whale’s Eye: Discovering the Larger Patterns Embedded in Film
Like a sacred book club — but cinematic — this monthly Zoom gathering invites you to watch a film on your own beforehand, and then join a curated circle of consciousness explorers to dive beneath the surface.
Each month, we’ll swim into the mythic, symbolic, and spiritual layers of a selected film — using the lens of expanded consciousness and archetypal mapping to uncover the deeper story beneath the story.
Here are some of the questions we’ll explore together:
What is this film really saying — beneath the surface?
What initiatory or archetypal themes does it activate?
How is it whispering (or roaring) to your soul’s journey?
What shadows or luminous truths is it illuminating?
What collective myths is it reinforcing — or rewriting?
How is this film affecting the collective mind-field of Earth?
And how might that be shaping our shared reality?
This will be an interactive experience — not a passive webinar. You’ll be warmly invited to share your own insights, visions, and inner stirrings. We’re not just watching — we’re alchemizing meaning together.
This is a space to train your vision to see “through the Whale’s eye” — vast, wise, and attuned to the unseen currents of collective transformation.
Join us for our voyage:
Featured Film: It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
This is truly one of my favorite films because it clearly demonstrates how our spirituality can be found within daily life! This film is less a traditional biopic of Fred Rogers and more a spiritual parable about the sanctification of human emotion and feelings. Fred Rogers practices a form of radical presence that demonstrates spiritual mindfulness. Rogers treats every individual as the most important person in the world, illustrating the understanding that actually seeing someone, truly is an act of love! The film frames forgiveness not as a one-time emotional release, but as a rigorous spiritual discipline. Rogers doesn’t claim to be a saint by nature; rather he reveals that he must work with his shadow material through prayer, swimming, and playing the piano. This highlights that “goodness” is a choice maintained through daily practice. If you are on a pilgrimage to wholeness, don’t miss this incredible film! Join us to share about the impact of this amazing film on you!

Bring your open heart, your notes, your questions, your wonder. This is not about critique — it’s about communion.
Let us gather in the temple of shared vision — not to analyze, but to re-member.
