The story of
Sun&Moon Collective
As destiny would have it, Claire and Sian met at a Full Moon Women’s Circle in Berlin in September 2022. Their serendipitous meeting was the start of something special, and a reminder that, when we stay open and present, the most beautiful opportunities show up. A few months after coming into each other's lives, Claire and Sian held their first Women’s Circle, and they were so inspired by the gathering that they began to host a circle monthly. After planning and hosting numerous Women’s Circles, Claire and Sian knew they were destined to start a business together, and thus Sun&Moon Collective was born.
Sun&Moon Collective creates safe spaces where women can explore and embrace darkness as a part of their journey, because Sian and Claire believe that it is by going through the darkness that one can experience the light. Both Sian and Claire have experienced their fair share of darkness on their own personal journeys, and they feel these experiences played an integral role in shaping who they are and helping them find their current paths and each other. The Sun and the Moon are representations of Claire and Sian’s philosophy and approach to supporting women. They believe we all have light and darkness within us and in our lives, and when we can embrace both, we can fully accept and love all parts of ourselves – we can feel whole and come home to our truest self.
About Claire
Claire is passionate about community, movement, and music. She is a certified ecstatic dance facilitator and dj, and she is also trained in a somatic-based movement practice, Fluentbody. For the past year, she’s been organizing and facilitating gatherings for women and loves creating spaces for women to connect on a deeper level with themselves and others.
Prior to starting Sun&Moon Collective with her best friend, Claire worked as a high school English teacher at Title I schools in Washington D.C. and the San Francisco Bay Area. As a teacher, she was committed to the creation of safe spaces where her students felt they could be their most authentic selves. While teaching was a transformational and fulfilling experience, it left Claire mentally and physically burnt out. She took a year off while living in Berlin, Germany, where she met Sian. While in Berlin, she found healing and renewal in women's circles, dance, and music. She now resides in San Diego, California with her husband and son, Bodie. She hopes to share what she's learned and experienced on her own journey with others in San Diego and around the world. She is offering one-on-one fluentbody sessions and facilitating ecstatic dance and fluentbody experiences.

About Sian
Sian is passionate about yoga, self discovery and living a meaningful life. She is a certified holistic health coach, and 200hr Yoga Teacher in Berlin. She is creating these gatherings for women to facilitate their transformative journeys of self discovery leading to more freedom and joy; while also providing a space for women to connect with other beautiful souls.
Leading up to Sun&Moon Collective, Sian has been on her own journey of self discovery, yearning to connect with her truest self and to live a life that felt aligned and meaningful. This personal quest led her to explore different careers, places, and modalities. From a designer and marketer to a health coach and yoga teacher; from South Africa to Italy to Berlin; from health and mindset coaching to yoga and voice activation. Along the way, Sian realized that while she’d done a lot of inner work, she needed to also learn to express herself and connect more with others, leading her to joining Women’s Circles regularly. Here she discovered another layer of healing, being with other women and sharing herself with truth, openness and vulnerability. After meeting Claire at a circle, creating these spaces for women to facilitate their journeys of self discovery felt like a beautiful next step. She is also offering one-on-one and group yoga classes, as well as mindset coaching.
