We’Moon Land is a small non-profit residential womyn’s community.
We exist as a sanctuary for women and nature, and provide space for feminist retreats, workshops, and gatherings in celebration of womyn’s spirituality and culture.
OMA, our community gathering space, is overdue for critical maintenance. Join your sisters to preserve the heart of We’Moon Land with a gift today for OMA’s repairs.

Work party Saturday October 22!
We will be having a work party on 10/22 from 12-4.
We are hoping for some decent weather to get some last minute things buttoned down for the winter. We are also want to celebrate our newest long term visitor Ana to the land and get her dialed into the yurt.
We hope to move a shed around Yula, more work on wood piles around the land, few things to the barn and the never ending blackberry removal. Ana is going make the meal after the work party. If the burn ban has been lifted we could light the bonfire! We are allowed regular campfires at this time.
Please RSVP and let us know if you have any dietary restrictions. Camping is available weather permitting and one more indoor housing spot is open.

Happy Summer
We have had some great campouts that kicked off on July 4. A lot of love and work has gone into the land and womyn have donated from the wishlist! Thank you so much for all this abundance. We want to keep the ball rolling and added a work party for Saturday August 27. There is much to do on the land and all helping hands are welcomed.
We had the winter wood delivered recently and there are piles to be stacked all over the land. Last years wood needs to be delivered to Star house. A few outdoor projects to be done that include the never ending blackberry, tansy and scotch broom removal. Oma always has cleaning and organizing as well.
Because of the summer heat we will start earlier around 10am. Womyn can arrive before that or spend the night on Friday. The heat will be the main deciding factor of when we might stop for the day. We will have snacks and a meal to share at the end of the day.
The blackberries should be exploding and ready to be picked in 2 weeks! This picture is from the upper meadow. Some bushes already ripe closer to Oma.
Please RSVP if you want to come out for the day or overnight on Friday or Saturday. Indoor housing or camping is available. We need a meal count for the work party. Please email wemoonland@gmail.com.
If you can’t make it up for the work party you are welcome to come up and visit at other times. Please email to let us know when you can visit for a day or overnight. It’s perfect camping weather!

We’Moon News
Hello Dear Ones!
We had a beautiful weekend at We’Moon homestead. On the new moon eclipse we had a work party and a Beltane ritual, which was very sweet and nurturing. We are now ramping up for the next work party!
Help us demolish an old trailer to make room for more womyn to enjoy womyns land! Join us Saturday, May 14 from 10-4 for a work party. We will provide snacks and a meal. We also need help with clearing blackberries and scotch broom. No experience required. We will provide the tools. But please bring your skills, gloves, equipment and water bottle if you have them! Some lighter indoor tasks, like spring cleaning Oma, are on the table as well.
Overnight camping or cabin stays are free for womyn who help out during the work party. Or you can donate $25-50 nightly for a cabin vacation or $15-25 for camping if you’d prefer to just hang out on the Land. No womyn turned away for lack of funds. If you are curious about womyns land, this is a great chance to see what it’s all about. If you love We’Moon and haven’t visited in a while, we’d love to see you again! Contact Nicole at
wemoonland@gmail.com for details and to RSVP. We really want to get a count on how many womyn are coming for meal planning and more.

We’Moon Land first newsletter of the year!
Hi Womyn,
We are starting to come out of our winter hibernation and covid shells. The long cold nights are shifting to longer days and warmer times. There has been so much change and transitions in all our lives in the last few years. We wanted to give an update about We’Moon homestead and what we are planning for the spring and summer seasons. Covid has had a big impact on the finances and activities on the land, and the resident community is shifting in many ways as we move forward. We are welcoming womyn in many different ways to participate in this process as we move toward collective ownership. From volunteering for a day, to becoming an ongoing resident of the land and community.
Covid policies are being reviewed on a monthly basis to keep the community and any visitors as safe and healthy as possible. If you are interested in visiting the land, please contact us and we can go over the most up to date protocols we are using.
At this time we have limited indoor stays in Yula and LaFern. We will be opening up to camping once the weather shifts.
With inflation rising and changes in the world happening, we are increasing our sliding scale or overnight stays and use of Oma starting March 1st.
Suggested sliding scale: more if you can, less if you can’t.
Camping $15-25
Indoor cabins when available $25-50
Our rates are still much lower in comparison to many locations and hope to allow any womyn who wants to visit a chance to stay.
We are hoping to start planning work parties as soon as the weather is clear enough to plan ahead. We rely on your volunteering and donations.
We are collecting information around who might want to volunteer and what skills sets we are needing on the land. Some of the work we need help with are listed below:
Gardening/permaculture/groundskeeping
Carpentry
Maintenance
Skilled chainsaw/arborist
Electrician
Fundraising
Plumbing indoor and outdoor
Basic helpers
You could also become a We’Moon Land Work Crew member: by planning to come for scheduled Work Days on the land, or by volunteering for certain work projects.
If you are interested in working on the land in any capacity please email with your name, availability, interest and skill set. Nicole will be compiling a reference list for the homestead.
Projects for 2022 are reroofing LaFern cabin (we have the contractors but not the funds), staining Oma and other repairs (we have the funds but not the contractors), graveling the driveway, water line repairs, pruning and much more.
We couldn’t begin to do these needed projects without your help. Please give generously.
Thank you!
Go to www.wemoonland.org to donate.
Or, write a check to WeMoon Homestead and mail to
P.O. Box 1636,
Estacada, OR 97023
We are also working on our events calendar for this coming year, which include the seasonal Wheel-of-the Year Holy Day Circles. We’Moon Land will be sending out future emails once the dates have been set.
