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]

Birth and re-Birth..
March 27, 2008
What a beautiful Gathering we had at the Spring Equinox..., thank you all Wo'Moon, who were with us and thank you everyone for your good wishes and prayers.
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 :-)
the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers; For the Next 7 Generations
March 19, 2008
This is a 'must see'. The 13 Indigenous Grandmothers coming together for Peace in the World. There is also a book available with a biography of the Grandmothers, and their teachings, which you can get on amazon. Hopefully this year a film will be released of their work together so far. It touches my heart deeply, and encourages me even more to follow my heart and help to bring the Wo'Moon together again. Enjoy......
Thank you to everyone for "Strengthening the Circle"
March 17, 2008
At our last Circle of One Gathering, one of the Wo'Moon read out these beautiful words. I don't know by who it was written, and if anyone knows, please let me know, so I can write the credits to this post. I want to share them with you, for it resonated so well with all of us and it reflects so well what we share and feel when we are together as One....Thank you Jenny, for all you bring to the Circle...
The Circle
My Grandmother told me that things all went in a circle,
The sun, the moon, the earth,the waters,the breadth of life
Are all round.
"In that roundness," she said, "lies wisdom, truth, love."
"In this lies power."
She sat by a kerosene lamp spinning her wool,weaving her rugs,
And she would tell me things of power.
"All things are part of you," she said-
"The four-legged, the root-beings, the five fingered,
You are all relatives."
"Long ago you used to talk to eachother.
But when we gegan to live in square houses and think in straight lines
We lost the power,lost the way."
"Lost the circle."
"Everything on Mother Earth and Father Sky is sacred," she...
