Maria & Lynda Yraceburu established Turtle Women's Moon Lodge in 2002 at San Diego Shamanic Circle after a community assessment surveyed the greatest needs of women om San Diego. Women surveyed wanted to learn shamanic women's ways of earth, receive healing and find joy within the sisterhood of ancient indigenous ways. Since its inception, Turtle Women's Moon Lodge has developed a comprehensive, two-part program to share the magic of tbe Yraceburu's work and love of the extended family. Both the beginning circle - Turtle Women's Moon Lodge, and the intermediate circle - Shima Circle, empower women to be "all they can be," while promoting an acceptance and appreciation of individual diversity.

In this space we network, provide information, and prepare for the next time Maria and Lynda come to our area.
