Once upon a time, 

not so far away, 

In the center of the old world

(Before corruption 

by powers that be )

 
There was an old culture 
Living proof that war
Is not in our true nature, 
That greatness in nations
And wondrous civilizations 
Can do without weapons 
And with real partnership 
Between sexes, classes, 
And above all, with nature
Our exercise today 
of creative imagination
And intentional co-creation 
Of the most wonderful world 
For our children to live in
Could benefit greatly
From unearthing the divine
Truth about our nature 
Our ancestors lived.
Enter Cucuteni Tripolye art of living on stage,
Memories from only 7000 years ago
Still alive in our dreams, hearts and veins
Despite domination that took central stage
 
With Luna Rossa as wrapped up gift
As from Mother Goddess herself
Calling on to her daughters to stop
For a sacred pause, for a deep breath 
for the wise wound in their bodies
To heal the unnecessary wounding 
On this place we call home, the Earth. 
 
Women called in as weavers of stories,
of webs of connections to all Life and its glory,
to start sacred re-weaving with beauty and love
That rewrites history, again, beyond 
what was ever lived and told.

Luna Rossa shares a Goddess secret too good to keep buried.

It brings out through A Moon & Menstrual Cycles Agenda &  Art Journal the oldest great civilization of the Goddess in the world, Cucuteni-Tripolye culture (5000 to 3500 BC) + indigenous wisdom about women’s sacred blood and inspiration to align to nature’s rhythm in our own bodies.

Luna Rossa: Moon & Menstrual Cycles Agenda &  Art Journal

The inspiration that Luna Rossa as a publication taps into in terms of art is the Cucuteni Tripolye culture, the oldest documented great civilization of the Goddess.

This culture, based in today’s Romania and Ukraine territories, is a proof great civilizations can exist without weapons and can thrive through art and partnership at all levels (between men and women, within social groups, with nature).

The dialogue week stays open to continue to Imagine Creatively together what else is possible in our co-creation of a New Earth, emobodying more feminine wisdom and life-protecting values.

Our pretext for calling on an international sisterhood
 Luna Rossa publication now on pre-order crowdfunding campaign.

Luna Rossa: A 4 in 1 Cycles Art Journal for practicing menstrual cycle awareness to make peace with your nature.

This English edition is open to international collaborators and supporters to contribute as many mothers and midwives to an English edition.  (see list of all project supporters below).

Many supporters & sisters invited to share the message with their communities to facilitate Luna Rossa reaching more women’s circles and communities. 

Will you be one?

Luna Rossa is a self dated moon agenda & cycles journal for honouring and mapping nature’s rhythms embodied in the menstrual cycle.

An instrument to practice self awareness, self love and connection to the rhythms of nature and the larger web of life. It is an offering to practice peace from deep within the bodies and with our own nature. 

Luna Rossa was originally published in Romanian in 2022. A Seeds of Peace project share with the world.
Join the pre-orders crowdfunding campaign for the English edition opened in September 2023. 

 The art brings back original mandalas and inspired art from the oldest documented civilization of the Goddess, the Cucuteni Trypolie culture, stretching from 5000 to 3500 BC over today’s territories of Romania, Moldova and Ukraine.
 This 7000 years old amazing civilization has lessons for us today to unearth and re-embody. They had cultural exchanges over a vast territory, created superb art honouring women as vessels for the divine and the partnership between women and men as well as with nature
A great civilization with no presence of weapons
 

Luna Rossa is peace a manifesto challenging the predominant war thinking in the world while offering a resource for womben to practice connection to their own true cyclical nature and the value of peace to be brought without from within. 

As art journal and moon agenda it brings the lunar calendar center stage and your own cycle as embodied monthly calendar. One can start anytime and have a self dated cycles agenda to use for 13 monthly cycles.

This is a Seeds of Peace project to share with the world.

 Join in to make it possible! Every pre-order counts!

 Diversity note: while it speaks about the womb and the way female biology works, this resource can be a valuable instrument for making peace with and mapping the wisdom of one’s menstrual cycle beyond self-identified women to people who practice gender fluidity.
