Join us for another Watch Party Club!
This month, we gather to watch a Studio Ghibli classic, My Neighbor Totoro by Hayao Mayazaki.
“This acclaimed animated tale by director Hayao Miyazaki follows schoolgirl Satsuke and her younger sister, Mei, as they settle into an old country house with their father and wait for their mother to recover from an illness in an area hospital. As the sisters explore their new home, they encounter and befriend playful spirits in their house and the nearby forest, most notably the massive cuddly creature known as Totoro.”
The film explores themes of animism, Shinto symbology, environmentalism, and the experience of childhood grief and joy. A perfect partner for the recurring theme of returning to earth-based spirituality that continues to present itself in my client sessions and in my personal praxis.
