notes
"Eve's Fire" addresses women's longing, kundalini phenomena, the initiatory journey, and the Divine Feminine. Archetypes are called forth as portals of initiation: the Mother, Amazon, Lover, Medial and Queen. Women from the School for Women Healers, aged 35 - 79, speak with raw courage of their longing, wanting to die, the death of a child, hiding, body image, sexual abuse, sensuality, ecstasy, and the struggle to embrace humanness. The film offers insight into universal patterns of feminine experience called archetypes.
Sheila Foster, M.A.,in 1987 founded a women's mystery school, the School for Women Healers, where she evolved a uniquely feminine paradigm for women's spiritual initiation. It is there that she still serves the community as ritual elder for Sacred Feminine initiation groups, and trains others in the Samyama Healing practice, a psycho-spiritual healing modality that she developed. She has a B.A. in English and M.A. in Counseling Psychology, and many years of study and experience in Jungian and transpersonal therapies, shamanism, dream work, creative process, vibrational healing, hypnosis, and the expressive arts therapies.
Kirsten D'Andrea Hollander, M.F.A., teacher and award-winning independent filmmaker has been a visual artist all her life. In 1993, she simultaneously entered the School for Women Healers and began to formally study filmmaking at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, where she received a Master of Fine Arts degree. One of her first films, A Cultural Object: The Tampon. Tampon, won a Peer Award for best editor of a fiction program from The Washington Film and Video Council Inc., Washington, D.C. and was a Rosebud Winner in the 1998 Rosebud Nominee Showcase, Washington, D.C. Tampon: A Cultural Object was screened at The Baltimore Museum of Art, the Kennedy Center, on PBS, and in several other venues in the United States. Other awards include an Individual Artist Award by the Maryland State Arts Council in 1998.
In March of 1998,Sheila Foster and Kirsten D'Andrea Hollander established Dangerous Old Women Productions so that they could share the Sacred Feminine teachings with many women beyond the School for Women Healers. Prior to "Eve's Fire", the two women completed a short film, "Embracing the Divine Feminine" and two meditation CDs called "Meditations from a Women's Mystery School", Volumes I and II.
