For 30 years, the women of We'Moon Land intentional community have been producing a labor of love in the form of the beautiful and functional We'Moon calendar. "We'Moon" is a contraction of "we of the moon" and calls itself "the original womyn's calendar" and a "handbook of natural cycles". This year's anniversary edition is true to form: with artwork, poetry, mini essays, and yearly commemoration of the lives of important women's movement leaders who have died recently is packed with inspiration and laid out to be user friendly.

The calendar also runs on several tracks at once: each week is laid out like a typical calendar, but it is interspersed with comprehensive astrological information as well as the holy days of equinoxes, solstices and the cross-quarters. With interesting historical bits and poetry connecting to these natural cycles, the calendar does a great job of connecting users to these larger rhythms, while helping us keep our mundane activities organized.

From the vibrant cover art to the final pages with space for your own notes (each with a tiny work of art printed on it) this year's annual homage to women's creativity is especially rich. Having our own activities side by side with snippets about what radical women around the world are doing to create a more sustainable and connected world encourages us to reach higher and do better, and are a tribute to the strength and creativity of women across cultures.

This is an ideal gift for those active, strong women in your life!
