Think of a film, a dream, or a single image that revealed something about yourself that words couldn't fully explain.
Certain images stay with us. Certain stories arrive at exactly the right moment. Long after we've forgotten the details, something essential remains.
What allows certain stories and symbols to shape us so deeply?
This webinar is an invitation to explore the deeper language through which transformation often begins.
On July 8th, join cinematographer Julie Romano and ritualist Isis Indriya for this free session. Drawing on the work of Alejandro Jodorowsky, mythology, and the ritual arts, Julie and Isis will explore film, symbolism, ritual, and imagination as pathways for personal transformation.
They'll explore how stories shape identity, why certain symbols stay with us long after their meaning can be explained, and how creative acts can help us meet life's transitions with greater awareness and intention.
They'll also share a glimpse into their upcoming experience, The Art of Becoming Through Visual Ritual, a collaborative visual ritual and filmmaking experience hosted later this year.
If you’ve been curious about the transformative power of stories, symbols, and the creative imagination...
you've come to the right place.
In this 60-minute complimentary session, we'll explore...
- Why the soul often speaks through images, dreams, and symbols
- How film functions as one of the great myth-making arts of our time
- Imagination as a creative and transformational faculty—not merely fantasy
- Why insight alone often isn't enough to create lasting change
- A guided reflective exercise to explore the stories and images currently shaping your life
- An introduction to The Art of Becoming Through Visual Ritual, the collaborative visual ritual and filmmaking experience beginning July 30, 2026
THIS WEBINAR IS FOR YOU IF...
- You're moving through a transition, crossroads, or season of reflection
- You sense that transformation asks for more than thinking your way through it
- You're new to these ideas and simply feel curious to explore
- You've spent time with Julie or Isis before and want to continue the conversation
- You're drawn to film, symbol, ritual, or creative practice as a way of understanding your own life
No prior experience is necessary.
Only a curiosity about the transformative power of stories, symbols, and the creative imagination.
YOU'RE INVITED
Culture speaks through stories.

A FINAL REFLECTION
May we remember that we are not merely witnesses to the stories of our lives, but participants in their unfolding and directors of their becoming.
May the images that move us, the stories that inspire us, and the symbols that guide us awaken our capacity to create lives of meaning, beauty, and courage.
Julie and Isis hope you'll join them.
