About Kanyon




Why This?

THE HERSTORY

The Women of the Fourteenth Moon IS a ceremony to empower our elder women and to cel-

ebrate and honor women of all ages and nations. It IS a women’s ceremony. It IS NOT a moon

ceremony, or a Native-American ceremony. It was created in 1987, when three women, a

Cherokee, a Celt and a jew, came together because they wanted to do something to heal

the great fear of aging among women today, particularly in this society.

In these current times when indigenous ceremonies are being usurped and misappropriated, it

is important to have a clear understanding of what the ceremony for Women of the Fourteenth

Moon IS and what it IS NOT. It is also important to know how this ceremony came into being.

Women on all spiritual paths, ages and life experiences are strongly encouraged to participate,

including women who have never been to anything like this before. We welcome you Honor,

Celebrate, Mentor, and Learn for all that is around you.

In the past, for this event to come together with facilitators and participants, ment so much

time and resources to create booklets, mailers, and a great amount of time on the phone.

To have a website were everyone has access, to fi nd out details of the ceremony as well as

means of sharing experiences, is progressive.




Objectives:

Design and develop a website for the purpose of educating woman young to elderly about the Woman’s 14th moon gathering. When people hear about this event, they will seek it out, by generating a landing page with a tid bit of information, and offering means of getting in contact with the organizer to fi nd out more information, would be simple enough to shed light on this small ceremony. A login page with simple security measures for participants, consul-tants, and new women becoming participants can view more intimate details about the gathering




Creating an informational site, that shares enough to the public eye, as well as pro-vides intimate details for those who know what they are looking for. To share the history of the Women of the Fourteenth Moon Ceremony. Providing a place where others can view and share their stories, feelings, details of their experiences at the Ceremony. Letting the right individuals know where the Ceremonial Gathering will take place, and how to prepare and be informed.

Analysis What’s Out There

The interesting part of this project proposal is that there isn’t much competition. There have been other organizations facilitated by women, who coordinate events and ceremonies, yet the majority of what they share hapen to be event pages. Websites that originated by DIY’ers, getting quick and easy information out there, the UI of some of these sites can be rather diffi cult.

This gathering is just a small glimpse of the networks out there, that women have gathered and incorporated ceremony,with education and bonding with other women in order to bring guidance, respect, and even just closure to one another. By putting this small ceremonial event/gathering on the web, they are providing valuable information that even if a handful of people get a chance to view it, they would fi nd it well worth it.

Thought Process/ Brainstorming

When discussing what kind of site my client had in mind, she left the design up to discussion, as well as the content provided.This was a challenge and a blessing in disguise. She trusts my opinion as an artist, and as a participant of the Womans 14th Moon Ceremony. I took my lib-erties in areas I was confi dent with, and saught and continue seeking construc-tive critisizms to ever progress with this design.
