Katie's Teachings

A meditation on grief, surrender, and the cycles of the living world.

Created in response to Katie Early's journey with cancer, the film weaves together haikus by her brother Gene Early, spoken word, and landscape to explore how endings belong to the same ecology as beginnings. Rather than looking away from loss, it invites us to learn from the natural world, where death, transformation, and renewal are inseparable.
