NOTE FROM CHRIS
Dear Soul,
Guess what?
On today, the full moon, earth (along with you, dear one) is positioned right between the sun and the moon. We are in a sun/moon sandwich.
Do you feel it?
(Really, see if you can take a moment to feel your body’s relationship to the sun & the moon.)
~~
I feel the intensity and the deep breathes required to use the intensity for good. And you?
~~
I’m happy to report that 16 women gearing up for to Fall Circle Leader Training. Which starts in 2 weeks.! That leaves 9 seats.
If you are feeling called, I urge to listen. I say that not just because I would love to have you (of course I would). I say that because I know what it feels like to hear a call and turn away from it. I’ve had that experience many times (less and less these days) and it is quite painful. You are the only one that knows if Circle Leader Training is right for you right now. If the answer is yes, Apply here.
I am wishing you a Full Moonday. May your cup runneth over.
with love and respect,
Chris
P.S~If you feel moved by this issue of WILD Woman Weeklyish, please share it with your wild ones.
MOON WATCH
5 Facts You May Not Know About the Moon
In honor of the FULL Moon Today.
- Months (the unit of time), were related were invented in Mesopotamia and directly related to the cycle of the moon. (via Wikipedia)
- Spring tides happen twice a month on the New Moon and the Full Moon. Spring tides are when high tide is higher and low tide is lower. The swell is caused be the near alignment of the sun, earth & moon, when the sun’s gravitational pull is added to the moon’s gravitational pull on the earth. Spring tides happen no matter the season. (via National Ocean Service)
- The Moon is not actually round. It egg shaped! And the small part of the egg is pointing right at you always.
- The Moon, about a quarter the diameter of the earth, is considered by some scientist to be more like a planet. They call the Earth-Moon system a “double planet.” (via Space.com)
- The Dark Side of the Moon is not just a Pink Floyd song; it’s a real part of the moon. Because of the particular rotation of both the earth and moon, we, earthlings, only ever see one side of the Moon. The other side is a mystery.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
At night, I open the window and ask the moon to come and press its face against mine. Breathe into me. Close the language-door and open the love-window. The moon won’t use the door, only the window.
Rumi
