The Luna Rossa Online Event opened up a dialogue on feminine health and wisdom themes included in Luna Rossa publication – a feminine workbook & self dated moon & menstrual cycles agenda that unearths through art the greatest old civilization of the Goddess

Access all dialogues and resources at your own pace below.

We also opened up for live events + extra conversation the  Facebook group Luna Rossa Sisterhood

There is no international without many flavours of local. Your perspective and experience matter. 

We are opening up for connections to local women’s circles, communities and red tents that could use Luna Rossa Agenda as a resource to embody feminine wisdom.

Looking for 30 educators, circle facilitators that will see the immediate value of the Luna Rossa offering for individual and group practice. Their reaching to at least 10 women in their community will take us close to our minimum printing goal.

Welcome! Short intro to the dialogue week 
from Ina Curic, Event Host and Luna Rossa Coordinator
Feminine Embodiment of Peace: 
The  Vision Behind Luna Rossa & the Link to Peace – inside and out 
The Peace that calls for more for us and the why behind Luna Rossa
Get to know Ina Curic a bit, in her passion for peace form.

And yes, passion is from the pain she feels and continually transforms, the collective pain body all women feel when menstruating, actually. Speaking as an realist with a heart, instead of idealist as proponents of peace are called.

Sharing the why of this project and the vision behind, plus our experience with our women’s community growing in Romania a sisterhood spirit around menstrual cycle awareness and our opportunity to co-create the most beautiful world out there. 

Making links to our own wars inside and the bigger vision of peace, the reason for coming out with Luna Rossa as a gift to an international audience.

If 1000 of us embodied more peace within, with our bodies, more feminine wisdom attuned to nature’s cycles, how would the world look like?

How can we collectively support each each to transform pain into power?

Indigenous Knowledge to Reclaim the Sacred Power of Menstruation

With Laura Maria Yara, sharing for the first time in English about the teaching of sacred menstruation and planting the Moon / offering our blood to the Earth the Andean Grandmothers, Tribo da Lua, Colombia.

With Andra Vișan talking about the Red Moon Archetype in the Mayan Calendar and how we can connect to the the essential qualities of the Feminine through this archetype.

Our Sacred Blood & Return to Mother Earth: Teachings from the Tradition of Andes Ancestral Grandmothers from Tribo Da Luo

Laura Maria Yara, an awakened woman in the service of the Divine Mother and the re-anchoring of the sacred feminine in the female body. She is a mother, a storyteller, a traveler in the unseen worlds, a midwife of transformation and an oracle of the Womb. Trained in Womb Awakening and Biomancy with Seren and Azra Bertrand, in Aura Reading and Memoria Ancestral da Tribo da Lua in Brazil, connected with shamanic practices and the sacred medicine of the Queen of the Forest, Laura has been working as a Holistic Therapist for over 12 years, through reading auras, healing the inner child, awakening the womb and conscious menstruation.

Red Moon/ Luna Rossa in other Indigenous Knowledge Systems

Red Mooon is one of the 20 archetypes in the Mayan Calendar, illustrating the qualities of the feminine energy. Just contemplating this symbol can support our connection to the feminine energy.

This is a photo of a pendant with the Red Moon symbol that Andra Vișan is crafting herself to be worn as necklace and reminder of the gift of this archetype. She does Mayan Galactic Signature Decoding, a gift to access her knowledge and receive keys for oneself. 

Red Moon Archetype: Wisdom from the Mayan Calendar

Andra Vișan has been working for 6 years with the codes of the Dreamspell Calendar, an organic calendar aligned to the lunar and galactic cycles, based on the wisdom of the Mayan Calendar. She helps people expand their perception of time, returning to the cycles of nature and understanding themselves better through the lens of the twenty archetypes of the Mayan calendar. 

Andra is one of the contributors to Luna Rossa Romanian edition. In this session she is introducing the Red Moon as an archetype in the Mayan calendar that connecyts us to the qualities of the feminine. She exemplifies practical ways in which we can connect to this archetype with ease in our daily lives.

One CAN be aligned with this calendar & the amazing meaning behind without knowing anything about it.

 Check out also Andra’s Short Red Moon sharing here –  half way through the year governed by the Red Moon Archetype as main energy, which ended in July 26th 2023. Luna Rossa, the Romanian edition, came together precisely in the year governed by this energy. And we still have Red Moon in the calendar by rotation.

Awaken the Kali Within
A Journey into the Heart of Darkness, to find the Soul of Light…


Beloved Maa Kali,Embodiment of Fierce rage and deeper Truth!
Allow me to become a prayer at thine feet, take me to the shadowlands,
surrendering the demons of unhealthy habits, toxic relationships and self-sabotaging past patterns, that have covered up the essence of my deeper soul,
Devour them Maa, so I can dance free,
burn them up Maa, so I can be wholly and completely Me,
Allowing the flowers of infinity to bloom through the cracks of our limitations kissing the feet of eternity…..
As I take a deeper plunge into the rivers of my secret underworld,
May your immense compassion, be the ultimate healing balm to my broken body and soul,
And your Infinite love- the very ground of my Being, the wings that turn me from ashes to a wild Phoenix Rising….
Give me the courage to pierce through the veils of herd mentality,
speak in a voice of my own- with reckless abandon, profound authenticity…
to be of ultimate service, to our amazing Yoniverse,
Dying….. to be re-born, to die…… yet again,
until I become One with everything, the entire Srishti,
Becoming an ocean of Unconditionnal Love,
coming home, coming home to thee,my Beloved Kali…
.

This is a workshop for women to honor our death-and-rebirth cycles which naturally result in an inner Alchemical Transformation…
We are indeed living in Cathartic times to say the least;
but the age of Kalyug- the Dark times, is also the age of Light…..
when our sacred rage, fierce authenticity, boundless courage and the nakedness of our souls will most be required.
When we do not own and compassionately accept our own shadow, it often becomes a part of the larger toxic forces. A journey into Awakening and living in a Conscious World that we envision is therefore a descent into the underworld- only to rise up again and again with our Divine Soul Treasures, to own our OWN  POWER.

We will be invoking the GODDESS KALI and learning about her throughSacred rituals and movement, Story-telling, Tantric Breathwork and Feminine Spiritual  and embodiment practices.

We will explore the archetypal connections between Goddess Kali and the menstrual cycle. Delve into the symbolism of Kali’s fierce yet nurturing energy and how it mirrors the diverse emotional and physical experiences individuals go through during menstruation. Discuss how embracing these facets can foster a deeper understanding of oneself and promote body positivity.
