First we must be a happy woman, only than can we be a happy mother for our children.

"To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order, To put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order, we must cultivate our personal life, we must first set our hearts right." Confucius ( taken from Raising Happy Kids, by Rozieta Shaari)

This site is intended to honour and celebrate the spark of passion and vision that lies within the heart of every woman. Women are not newcomers to the warrior dance of mothers tradition; it is our heritage. Ancient myth and legend gives to us the stories of cultures created and guided by wise and courageous women. An integral part of every woman's journey to freedom is learning to reclaim the warrior within herself. Women who speak with truthfulness and honour with remarkable courage, women who teach their children dignity and integrity in the midst of superficiality and dishonesty bequeath a heritage of freedom. Women who treasure compassion, freedom and liberation more than safety, approval and affirmation embody the warrior spirit. These women are not strangers; they are part of our own stories, our teachers, our allies, our mothers - they are ourselves

It is not always an easy task for women to reclaim and honour the warrior within. The dominating, destructive, overpowering warrior we are used and familiar with has wounded and scarred our planet, our communities and our lives with its obsession with winning. We know the pain and grief of being disempowered, silenced and devalued. We are not that. Today, the warrior is a woman of poise and finely balanced. She knows how to be responsive and clearly focussed. Patience and determination merge happily within her. Strength and gentleness, receptivity and creativity, are not polarised but integrated. She is a woman of passion and creativity, power and healing. This is born of her vision, trust and commitment to freedom, oneness and the end of dualisms, that she further passes on to her children. The warrior woman is a woman with a spiritual calling. To a spiritual warrior, everything is a challange. The journey of the spiritual warrior is a journey that involves no enemies, it is a journey of wisdom and transformation. And Wisdom and Transformation is a result of discovering and fulfilling our lifelong quest for joyful love of living, breathing, working, praying and expressing through dance and art. Love for God, love ourselves, love others, love children, the community and love the earth .... is the happiness we must embrace. And when we are one with the warrior joy of love, can we then be happy warrior mothers to our children.

Love is the most powerful energy that will help each child grow strongly and confidently. It helps a person to overcome all challenges in life. The most wonderful gift that each parent could give to his/her child is unconditional love. This will give each child the ability to weather any challenges that comes his/her way.
