Beauty in Motion, Visual Devotion


A rich and tender exploration of the inner landscape of the feminine... Film experimentation from Heather Rhodes at Studio Petronella. Filmmaking as sacred embodiment exploration; weaving image, word, sound & movement to create fluent meditations; visual prayer & devotion, vignettes of beauty...

Follow the luminous threads. Let go of expectation. Embrace the magic of the muse.

An invitation to come into the softness of presence, underneath the layers. Unfurl them, one-by-one. Enter the temple of the inner beloved, where shiva and shakti are embraced in an eternal slow dance. Here, there is nothing to change. Spiral into to the quiet depths and exquisite tenderness of divine vulnerability and longing...

Into the Light is a whisper, a visual prayer. Vocalization & movement; sacred inspiration for this holy time, when we are leaving the deepest darkness and entering into the coming light on winter solstice. A time of great wonder and reflection, of gratitude for the shelter and wisdom of the darkness during the inward cycle; as we now begin to prepare for the expanding light.
