The Moon and I
It happened slowly, over time, where her light would begin to awaken a sleeping part of me. I would say it started over a decade ago. It began to happen when I was so broken that I needed something larger than myself to feel protected by. It began as a place of refuge and solace subtly at first.
Later a curiosity began to emerge. A wondering if indeed we were wired to fall into rhythm with her. Later, practicing biodynamic gardening, kundalini yoga, herbalism, beekeeping, and diving into Celtic practices opened up the doorway to more moon-lore. All these practices had moon wisdom woven into them. I began to pay attention to the new moon, full moon, waning and waxing moon. I began to track my fertility and cycle around her and I then became in sync with her. Once this shifted, my relationship to the sun actually became enhanced. I first got the moon tattooed on my right side, above my ribs. Mostly for a reminder for myself to never relinquish my connection to the divine feminine. Later, when I was ready to meet my masculine partner, I tattooed the sun. Then he arrived.
I suppose this deep relationship is in our bones. That’s why it feels like medicine and why it feels like a necessity. As we move farther from the earth in terms of technology and toxins, the more we need to align ourselves with what is and always has been.
Around spring solstice I will be offering a course on moon studies. This is a comprehensive course designed to simplify the relationship you can have with the moon. It’s factual, historical and spiritual. There are so many beautiful goddess sites and teachings in this wondrous time; however, I feel many of you want to start at the basics. This course is simply revealing ways to get in sync with the moon’s rhythm.
I am so grateful and honored to bring this course to you. I hope you will take a look at The Moon and I for ultimately it’s a a tool to help us all harness the beauty, magic, and power of la Luna’s wisdom. As she ebbs and flows, so do we. As she retreats into darkness then builds towards her fullness, so do we. As she honors intuition and fertility, so do we. As she yearns for a balanced state with the sea, sun and earth, so do we.

Its coming soon ~ Thank you
I recently have been going through autoimmune issues and found myself turning inward to find peace. That’s when I came across your book and was immediately absorbed. That lead me to the lunar cycle and the power it holds. I felt like I was rebirthed and discovered such inner peace when i began studying the moon and trying out some rituals. I would LOVE to be a part of this course! Thank you 🙂
Thank you Tamara this is what I am hoping for so grateful to hear this ~
Welcome Back Shiva Rose! I became a big fan when I purchased your book last year and I’ve been missing your emails. The last thing I remember was you wrote about a new man in your life and I figured it wasn’t the “season of your life” to be sending emails. Now I realize your Local Rose has been going all along and I didn’t know! Also, I LOVE the fact that you don’t send messages all the time. I unsubscribe from a lot of people I like because they send too much.
I adore you and your style. You really speak to me, it all just seems right to me in a deep down way.
I am very interested in your moon course and look forward to seeing it soon.
Thank you for all you do, Denise Mason
Thank you so much Denise this lights me up to read ~
Looking forward to this!
Will this be a live in person class/ workshop ? Or online ? Do you have idea of cost ? I would very much like to participate. Having a relationship to the moon has greatly changed my life but I’d like more: a community, guides etc. it’s important to me to include my 10yo daughter also -without these events becoming a trendy snobbery event/clique.
You’re always so generous. Thank you.
I love you writing Shiva Moon. Your words fall gently and meaningfully into one’s deep
awareness.I have long revered the mysteries of the moon and feel that every woman needs to connect with her magic!
Brightest Blessings,
Stella
I can’t wait !!! This is exactly what I need , I am behind you all the way .
I myself am at a point in life …turning 48yrs old. A widow, mother of 2 beautiful boys (9 & 10 yrs).
I truly feel lost… (not from my husband death) …just lost, broken and empty. I am a RMT and I have Pilates training.
Not understanding why, I love what I do … I just feel so disconnected!….almost like I’m not living my purpose?!
Something inside me …is telling me I have a higher calling.?!
I go aimlessly about the days … trying to remain in the moment, meditate more, do yoga with my teacher…. I gather with friends, had lovers, I love my family with every breath…..yet I’m lost inside.
You mention the moon 🌙…..struck something inside me….
I love the Stars ⭐️ and the Moon…it holds a special space in me . Somehow , I feel it has stolen my sole…bewitched my heart with its beauty and Magic!
I am very interested in learning about your offerings and teachings. I adore your book (I have it) 🌸
With love and kindness for all,
Cheryl Putt
Oh Cheryl this makes me so happy. Yes a deeper connection to something greater than us that can bring so much comfort. I hope you take the course and see.
Blessings and things will shift ~
Hi Shiva, thank you for your post. I have been dealing with autoimmune and nervous system disorders for 4 years now. After meeting with so many Western doctors, I have found the most healing through functional medicine and spirituality. After reading your book and throughout my journey & struggles I have dipped in and out of working with the moon to help me to heal (Personally, I find the full moon to be my most emotional & inspirational) Unfortunately there is are too many sources online. Reading that you will be offering a course to help us learn and begin a relationship with the moon is a tremendous blessing. I cannot wait to embark on it. Thank you for all your help and guidance. Warmest wishes, Meghan xo
