Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, a marker of how the year has evolved
from its birth at the Winter Solstice to full-throttle, productive life-force wave. Between Solstice and Imbolc, we let rest and cleaned our garden’s dirt. Imbolc marked the occasion to clean out and put thought and intention into the seeds we plant for the year. As we crossed the equilibrium point of Spring Equinox, we plant our seeds and intentions to grow throughout this productive season. Now, what we planted is full of life force, in motion and even bearing fruit.
In this time of quickening, we feel our gatherings are a time for channeling more than just what we have known of the past – it is also a time to prepare for a future that no human has ever known before. We take the opportunity of this Summer Solstice to continue our journey as The Ones We Have Been Waiting For. As we each step into our own form of leadership, creation and contribution, we seek to first get grounded in our own being so that we may each walk strong in our journey. We hope that you will join us to explore, learn, celebrate and connect!
The ascent has begun! Join us as we gather to celebrate
SUMMER SOLSTICE 2011!
Rooted in beginnings, we gather to honor the solar zenith!
…Love and magic will reign the weekend as we dance and feast, sharing and building community!
We gather with the energy of the Muladhara – the root chakra located at the base of the spine. The deity of this region is Ganesha, with coral orange skin, wearing a lemon yellow dhoti with a green silk scarf draped around his shoulders. In his 3 of his hands he holds a ladu, a lotus flower, a hatchet, and the fourth is raised in the mudra of dispelling fear. Ganesha also Reigns over beginnings. Adventure awaits! Are you grounded? Together we will deepen our anchor and salute the sun from the root of being.
We seek to co-create a sacred experience during the entire gathering. We will open sacred space on Friday evening and close it on Sunday midday. Within that container, we will co-create workshops, meals, fun activities, grounding body work, and ritual. You are invited to participate! Every participant will have the chance to offer their home soil, movement, altar items, costume, and food for the event. Every participant is also welcome to help in the co-creation process for the weekend and we hope you will!
