This is a very good article about Love for Peace written by Marianne Williamson, perhaps you want to read it. This is the link to the page : http://www.mwblog.com/journal/index.php
Also, on sunday we have a Full Moon, 01.01.2009 (which is 11:11) There will be global meditations for Peace All over the world. Join us at 7pm to connect with your hearts and send out Love and Peace to the planet to create a grid of change in consciousness, from negative to positive, we step into a New World. A world of Love, Wisdom and Compassion, for ourselves and all other sentient beings. You might want to try this meditation:Create a peaceful place for yourself, settle your mind and breath in through your heart, then send out Love,with every outer breath, don't judge, just be, and visualise a world where there is peace and love. Stay here for a moment, then take a deep breath and feel the peace inside yourself. May it be so. With Love, Claudia
Thank you Wo'Moon for making it such a special night! And thank you Sue, for all you are and for having the Gathering at your beautiful place.
Good insights about looking at ourselves, and the 'need' for connecting with each other to share our feelings, frustrations, laughter and wisdom. Many of you came out through the awfull rain, brilliant,but is was so good to see it stop when we went outside to connect with the Fire and gave away what we no longer needed, to make space for New Beginnings. And wonderful to sing all together again, your voices are amazing! There were 18 Wo'Moon, some new faces, and many familiar ones. It is wonderful to see how quickly we connect with each other, and share very personal feelings; even after when we all just met! This is the (Em-)Power(-ment) of Women coming together, supporting each other, nurturing each other, and laughing a lot together too! For the ones who were not there: YOU were with us!!!! I hope some new friendships have been made,and that the Circle keeps expanding....may the ripples become waves..big waves.. Claudia xxx
First of all a big Thank You to Mr Joseph Reuben Silverbird, who was our special guest at the Wo'Moon Circle last Saturday. The message of Peace was clear to us all, and the understanding that we have to become Peace, in order to create Peace for the World. Thank you all so for the Blessing you gave to us all. It was a beautiful Gathering of People who are Crossing Bridges. Our Hearts reached out to all the Women, Men,Children and all other Sentient Beings in the world who have suffered, and ofcourse to Mother Earth. Thank you all Wo'Moon who were there, and all who couldn't be there physically. I also would like to thank Silverbird for his song where he Honours the Women, which he shared at the seminars last weekend. It was a gathering of shared feelings, songs and food :-) and teachings from far away Sacred Lands.....Walk in Beauty....Claudia xxx
We are working on a CD, filled with Songs from the Heart. We recorded all the songs at Landsend Trading Post, and now we are finishing the recordings and putting them on CD. Many of the songs we sing already at the Wo'Moon Gatherings and other events, and they have helped to strenghten many of us to connect with our Inner Voices. To give you a preview and to listen to one of the lyrics that will be on the CD, you can also have a preview on the following link:
This is a different recording, with my voice only, on the CD you will hear the drumming of Dave Padziorek and the Didgeridoo played by Sean Stewart, thanks lovely brothers :-) We will let you know when the cd will be ready :-)
The songs are written by me, and I couldn't have done the recordings without the support of many of my friends!
Have a listen, feel it out, pick up your drum, and Sing from Your Heart! I will join you, wherever you are...
Much Love from between the heartbeats, Claudia xxx
I hope you all had a good summer. I certainly have; the weather has been lovely in Scotland, more than last year, so we have haven been able to absorb some warm sun energies in our bodies.
I spent some time in Carcassonne this summer, a medieval city in the Cathar Country in France. I was there with the last full moon, and it was an amazing experience. I will certainly go back to that region and explore it some more.
One of the profound experiences and beginning of projects this year has been the Birthing of the Dakiniz Healing Essences. These are Healing Flower Essences made under the Moon Energies, and hold powerful, yet gentle and nurturing healing vibrations. When the Essences are made, they are blessed with Reiki Energy and gentle drumming and singing. The feedback of the Essences has been beautiful, many have been attracted to the Snow Drop Essence,called TLC, and this lovely, delicate, and strong little flower has been able to heal and shift quite a bit so far. I cannot describe my sincere Gratitude to the Flowers and the Reiki Guides for making the Alchemy happen, and that we are now able to share the Beautiful Gifts of...
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making the Wo'Moon's day such an amazing day!
It was so special with us all Be-ing together, so inspiring, so nurturing and empowering!
And thank you to the Sun! Hope nobody got sun burned!
Also, a BIG thank you to all the men who helped us, so we could also participate in the workshops etc. Behind the scenes the men have also put great effort in to make this day happen.
To Fairley, Catriona, Patricia, Maggie, Zoe and Billy, Emma and Neil, the Kuk Sool Won people, Nicky and Rachel, Derek and Jason,all the volunteers who helped before,during and after the event, and everyone else who was there and made the day possible.
Again, thank you all.....
Now it is time for us to relax in the summer and start thinking about some new events we can come up with for the future!
Wishing you all a lovely, joyful summer and look forward to seeing you all again soon!
Much Love and Heartfelt Blessings, Claudia van Zuiden and Jenny Slater xxxoooxxx

Landsend Trading Post Wo'Moon Gathering 14th June
June 20, 2008
We had a beautiful gathering in Fettercairn last week. We had a beautiful ceremony for women, and Sue was our hostess. We sand, drummed, cried and laughed about things we wanted to let go of, and walked a beautiful crystal mandala outside, where we were able to affirm new things in our way of Be-ing...Thank you all who came to the Circle, and all who couldn't be there but were with us in their hearts... I wish you a happy Solstice and hope to see you at the Wo'Moon Day at Tornaveen on the 28th June! Oceans of Love, Claudia xxx

Sami teachings for Wo'Moon
May 19, 2008
We had a wonderful weekend with Greta Huuva, a Sami medicine woman. who facilitated workshops for us here in the yurt. Greta lives in Jokkmokk, Sweden. Greta shared with us stories about her culture, joik singing, medicinal herbs and plants, the shaman's drum and the Bear Saga. It was a journey were we felt safe to go within our Self, and had many moments of silence, laughter, tears, joy, singing, drumming and affirmations. It was a beautiful way of being together and sharing our feelings. The weather was beautiful, the sun was shining most of the time, and we had the lovely breeze of the wind outside and all the birds were singing loudly around us outside. We shared some delicious food, and had lovely cups of herbal tea, made by Greta. I thank Greta and all the Wo'Moon who shared this experience from the depth of my heart. It was a lovely way of building bridges between cultures, uniting us all. May we keep in our hearts the love and trust we found, and live our lives this way, keeping our hearts and minds open, knowing that our strength lies within. And that we are all unique and that we...[More]

I have witnessed some courageous Wo'Moon. Wo'Moon who let go, and then stepped into the Circle of Life with new affirmations for the year to come...listened to their stories, their songs, their music...I was honoured to be with you all, and to share all these wonder-filled moments...thank you :-)
