What readers are saying

Becoming the Moon gave me the words I'd been searching for. My daughter and I read it together the week before her first cycle — and something I'd been dreading became sacred.

You Are the Sun, My Son lives on my boy's nightstand now. ‘The world does not need perfect men, it needs good men’ — he says it back to me. I didn't know a book could do that.

I've started living with the moon instead of against it. The new-moon practice takes ten minutes, and it's softened my whole month. I feel like myself again.

My twelve-year-old asked to do the moon journal with me every Sunday night. It's become the calmest, closest hour of our whole week.

I bought Becoming the Moon for my niece and ended up reading the whole thing myself first. It's the book I wish someone had handed me at thirteen.

The Sister Moon Circle is the first membership I haven't quietly cancelled. The monthly letter lands exactly when I need it, every single time.

As a mom raising two boys, I'd been looking for the masculine version of all this beautiful cyclical work. You Are the Sun finally gave me that.

I'm not religious and I wasn't sure this was for me. It turns out you don't have to believe anything — you just slow down and pay attention. It's gentle and it works.

Living by the moon's phases gave my year a rhythm again. I rest at the new moon, I create at the full — and I stopped feeling guilty for not being 'on' every day.
