“Navigating the film industry alone can be a daunting experience. For the longest time, I was searching for my creative tribe. I wanted to be part of a family of artists that not only nourished my passion for filmmaking but also challenged my ideas. I needed a group of people who would push me to dig deeper into the craft of writing and directing. I am proud to say that I finally found that family in Cheshire Moon Productions. I believe my creative partnership with Sarah Carter has been a career-defining experience. Her mentorship and guidance has restructured the way I approach storytelling, not only from a technical level, but also from the soul level. As a young writer and director, I believe it’s imperative to have someone around who believes in you and values what you have to offer the world. It’s also important to submit to a process under someone you trust; a person that can give honest feedback and bring instruction from a place of purity. I am honored to say that Sarah Carter is that person for me. I value the wisdom she has brought into my life. She has taught me to stay true to myself, pushed me to pursue a higher calling, and compelled me to lead a life of excellence that ultimately will shape my film career from this day onward. It’s a blessing to have found my creative family.”

“Sarah Carter is a raw feminine force who is rooted in seeking the truth in each situation all the way down to the marrow. She cuts through self-deceit and pushes comfort levels in order to shake up the known reality in order to transform the defeatist mindset. She rattles the core of all the people she works with because she truly see's the potential and divinity they can't yet see. She is a deeply connected healer who can channel the truth in any scenario or any being who honestly inquires. She is fierce and will fight for you because she actually cares. Her work is not to fuel her ego, I believe it's to unite the collective with pure love. She will challenge you to look at both the light and the dark of your personality so that full understanding can be found and nurtured. To contend with her you must contend with yourself and within that is transformative insight that can crack open your heart and burn down any false limitations.”

“Thanks to Sarah’s fearless leadership in offering experiential workshops, educational materials and vibrant communing with a supportive group of empowered women who are also vulnerably shapeshifting themselves, I found a safe haven to unravel into the ugly mess of it all so that I could put the pieces of myself back together in the most authentic, nuanced and cohesive way. I boldly married myself on the beach with my wild soul sisters who witnessed the moment I vowed to love myself unconditionally and forever, and once you make that fearless commitment to yourself, I promise you: THERE IS NO TURNING BACK. I am honored and blessed to be a part of this coalition of sisterhood that supports and celebrates my life journey into authentic living so that my voice resonates CLEAR, my intentions GROUNDED, my soul FREE, my TRUTH undeniable and my daily practice FLUID in FAITH. I am forever grateful, forever changed, forever evolving more into my authentic self.”

“The opportunity to work with Sarah arrived unexpectedly. The introduction came through my youngest daughter, and in retrospect, it makes perfect sense that this bridge was raised by a child. At first, I was a little apprehensive. Although we both live by the Pacific, the roads are long between us, and I was worried about working on something so personal without being physically close. All my hesitation evaporated the moment I met Sarah. Her gentle kindness and genuineness faded the screens away as she welcomed me into her beautiful story. Sarah is a talented artist who was generous and brave in sharing a piece of herself with the world. I had the honor of helping Sarah shape and color the spirits and ancestors that inhabit her dreams—or at least come as close as I could as an illustrator. Sarah’s presence and story have been true gifts to me. Her words have comforted me in very difficult recent times. During the winter, our dog passed, and over this last full moon, my father left for the stars. As the scientist and renowned professor Robin Wall Kimmerer once said, “gifts exist in a realm of humility and mystery—as with random acts of kindness, we do not know their source.” Thank you, Sarah, for this unexpected encounter. I hope we can continue to stitch dreams together.”

“I think it's amazing what Sarah does to help and inspire women. The fact that she’s been opening up her home and her heart for so long to so many is beyond kind and giving. She has a wealth of knowledge and connections that she’s offering and that's worth a lot. Everything she does is amazing, but as an acting and life coach, I would definitely recommend her. She has a rare ability to listen and really connect to the core of someone and have the exact right thing to say to transcend the situation. She truly uses her gifts and talents to inspire, connect and unify!”

"Sarah has the capacity to help guide transformation in everyone she encounters, this is not only because she wants to help/heal and empower others, but because she does, has done and is doing the work within herself and loves by this truth. She has inspired and supported me to be better, to be myself, and to stand in my truth."

“I'll never forget when I was at Sarah’s house for the ‘Women Who Run With The Wolves’ bookclub, and after I shared she said to my face; “Who are you?? Who are you that people are wanting to ask you and know who you are?!” It made me cry. It was powerful. She was powerful. She is powerful. And she owns it. So many people out there are owning it without really having it. But she does.”

"Sarah is a lover, a devotee, and high-priestess of Devine Feminine Power. I have been attending workshops in her home for over 6 years and, without fail, she holds a grounded space for women to reach for their highest vision of themselves. There is a fire-in-your-belly feeling when you are in her presence exploring just how expansive you can be. And because Sarah leads a life of example, you cannot help but feel the infinite possibilities of all your dreams at your fingertips when you are with her."

“What stands out about Sarah and the ethos behind Cheshire Moon Productions is the deep sense of trust and ease she brings to the creative process. I came to Sarah with what felt like a big ask - but, somehow, with her, it never felt that way. It was like being carried by water: natural, fluid, and safe. Her arms were open to me even before she officially came on board to Executive Produce Scene House, and that quiet generosity defines everything she brings to a project.”

“Sarah’s workshop has been such a gift. She creates a safe space of warmth, compassion and trust, and is committed to diving deeply into the shadow work, the divine feminine, creative intuition. Her desire to guide women in a transformative process, while at the same time uncovering and learning about her own life, brings a sense of organic authenticity. I love that she is able to tap into the energy of the group, guiding meditations to get clarity in specific areas, allowing peaceful reflection and discussion, or playing music and moving, depending on what feels right in the moment. Sarah has brought forth the magic and all of us have been touched by it in our own ways and experienced the wonderful space holder that she is.”

"Sarah Carter (and her women’s group) has changed my life by supporting and letting me express the torrent that was already in motion. She's one of the most fearless people I know, and she knows how fire and water work hand in hand. She knows how to listen to dissonances, quacks and silences. She judges nothing, letting the changes and growth happen with a single look of "You're enough, keep going, Im here". Her process is neither a trend, nor a self-indulging circle, but rather a nurturing environment for a completely open freedom of expression of the self through the support of the group. She stands for a wild explosion of the feminine allowed by the kind permission of a bed of soft flowers, all women, all transforming, all able to support while cracking open their very very very big hearts.”
