Ensoulment: Exploring the Feminine Principle in Western Culture

Ensoulment is an encounter with a young filmmaker struggling to explain the feminine, according to psychologist Carl Jung's theories. She interviews authors and leaders including Dr. James Hollis, Dr. Abigail Disney, Rev. Dr. Serene Jones, Dr. Cynthia Eller and Dr. Anne Fausto-Sterling, amongst others, to broaden her perspective about what the feminine is and how it takes place in Western culture. What starts out as an attempt to make a film, ends in a search of meaning, belonging and the path back to her true self.
