Wo’moon Circle of One
The ‘Wo’moon Circle of One’ in Scotland, where since 2005, a platform for women to empower, support and inspire each other was created. This group has now grown to three sub-groups, where each group specialises in specific age-groups and topics related to these groups and is run by a core group of women who voluntarily support other women. In 2012 Claudia was invited to Poland to co-facilitate a weekend in leading women to learn skills for empowerment and well-being.There is a Facebook page for this group which is called: ‘Wo’Moon Circle of One‘
Earth Guardians Scotland
As an outdoor person Claudia believes we all need to take positive action for climate change. She decided to join the Earth Guardians Group and started the group ‘Earth Guardians Scotland’, where she with others, mentors young people to become positive climate change leaders and mentors themselves. The Facebook page for this group is called Earth Guardians Scotland and is worth a visit.

The Peace Art Project
In her free time Claudia is a keen photographer and painter. Art can be used as a form of therapy and Claudia has been facilitating therapeutic art projects for over 20 years. In 2015 She started The Peace Art Project, which has the vision to promote Peace and plans to facilitate collaborative, creative days with other people who hold that same vision. The art items need to express some sense of representing Peace and a percentage of the art items being sold will be donated to projects/ charities that promote a peaceful world.
The Peace Art Project is part of and promoted by Solution Ways, Scotland.
If you would like mentoring in how to start your community project please get in touch with Claudia by emailing her: solutionways@hotmail.co.uk to discuss how she could help you.
