Celebrate the Summer Solstice:
A morning women’s circle open to womenfolk+ aged 16 or over.
The Summer Solstice is a time of peak light, abundance, and vibrant life. It is the longest day of the year—a powerful astrological moment to pause, celebrate how far we have blossomed, and bask in the warmth of community.
You are invited to step away from the busyness of daily life and enter a sacred, nourishing space of sisterhood. Together, we will honor the sun’s radiant energy, ground ourselves in peace, and ignite our collective joy.
Come as you are—whether you are feeling vibrant and full of energy, or quiet and in need of filling your cup. You belong here.
You will find yourself in a safe, supportive circle held by an experienced space holder (that’s me!) You will participate in a grounding, guided meditation to help you capture the expansive energy of the solstice and channel it into deep inner stillness and clarity as well as take part in a creative ritual using the seasonal bounty to craft a beautiful keepsake that honors your personal growth and the magic of midsummer. We will also share delicious cake and refreshments.
