Laura Hirch is an independent conscious filmmaker, journalist and artist. Her works center women, healing, spirituality, mysticism and art. She calls herself a spiritual feminist and an eco feminist, and both of these paths define her creative work. She has studied journalism in Munich, where she was born and raised, and documentary filmmaking in Los Angeles. Laura is the creator of the independently produced 6-part docuseries FROM THE GODDESS which investigates the central role of the Great Goddess in early history and modern times and explores the concept of Her in many different aspects - from archaeology to social science, art and thealogy. Its aim is to show women that we have played an important role in earlier societies, having been not only worshipped as the creatrix of life but also the bearer of community and a source of sacredness. The emergence of patriarchy 6000 years ago not only changed the role of women in society but also severed the connection to nature. Through the matriarchal worldview, which is still upheld by indigenous peoples today, we can learn to become better guardians of our Mother Earth once again.
