Watch the December 2023 WOP circle recording here
How do wombs of peace move us?
How do *you* envision a womb of peace ?
After nearly 5 years of enabling different offerings,
the recent one being this year’s moon-WOP circles
as the rhythmic heartbeat of our co-creation,
this upcoming 13th moon of 2023, ending the year, calls for envisioning:
Let us reflect on the past and dream a future, together.
Dec 17th Moon-WOP רחם של שלום Wombs of Peace رحم السلام circle, invites you, our other-self,
to tell us:
What movement would you like to have in the world?
What does a womb of peace mean to you?
How does it / can it translate into your reality?
What may it become?
How would we listen to your answers? What form will this WOP circle take?
Initially, our Women of Wisdom will share their inner explorations, forming the core ripple of the circle. (This part only will be recorded and live-streamed. The rest won’t be on record.)
Then, we’ll welcome ripples of insights from you, our larger sisterhood:
we’ll go into Break Out Rooms, where each core-ripple speaker will hold a Talking Circle. You, our online community, are invited to share in a safe, brave space what a womb of peace means, what being a part of Wombs Of Peace has been, and/or what it could become for you.
In the circle, we’ll engage in deep listening.
After the circle closes we’ll take some time to process everything, allow that which wishes to emerge - to come forth…. And communicate it with you, our entire community.
If you have things you already want to tell us - please email us here .
That is as to the spiritual content in verbal means, i.e. soul nourishment.
Alongside that, to keep רחם של שלום Wombs of Peace رحم السلام (WOP) alive, there’s also a need for the other kind of nourishment. Rita Blumenstein, our Late Yupi’k Elder, used to say: “We need two wings to fly: one in the spiritual and one in the physical.”
At every event, we make sure our wisdom-keepers are always nourished back while nourishing our community.
We were able to do that thanks to a handful of you who have chosen to donate, whom we’re very grateful to,
especially to two big anonymous donors, who indicated this might be the last time they’ll be able to grant us the funds needed for us to operate as we have so far…
After the initial perplexity, we realized it’s time for us to grow and mature, along with our community.
One way in which we're growing our commitment to you is by offering you all our dates for the coming year’s Moon-WOP.
So, for 2024, we’re giving you all our dates for the coming year’s Moon-WOP circles in advance: Jan 21, Feb 18, Mar 17, Apr 21, May 19, Jun 16, July 14, Aug 18, Sep 15, Oct 13, Nov 10, Dec 8.
(It’s always the Sunday before the Full-moon, at 11:30-1:30 AK time = 12:30-2:30p PT =CLICK for your local start time).

we’re asking you,
if you feel nourished, inspired, lifted or otherwise helped by these circles (to quote some responses) - please consider enabling more of them by:
* donating what you can, when you scroll down, HERE;
