Limited to 13 spots,
I would like to personally invite you to join me for a special Summer Solstice Ceremony that I will be offering at Gaia Wellness Retreat on the evening of Tuesday June 21, 2022 from 6-9pm.
I am kindly asking that if you are interested in joining me for this event to please RSVP before May 30th as each participant will be receiving a 21 Day Solstice Sadhana to work with leading up to our ceremony.
For the 21 days leading up to Summer Solstice we will be reflecting on 3 different questions. Each participant will receive instructions and practices to help unpack and explore these questions and to deepen and integrate any insights.
Summer Solstice
Although many of us hear the call of our inner desires and dreams, it is often difficult to find the path forward to our own awakening.
Learning to explore our inner life deeply is opening to the ultimate possibility of awakening to the truth of who you are. Your internal awakening opens the door to the truly unimaginable.
When you learn to explore deeply, you uncover your true power & gifts and are able to find meaning in your past failures. This is when you begin to believe in yourself again and that is when you step into true power.
Our life purpose is to use our own personal transformation to help transform society. In exploring deeply our own divinity and purposeful gifts, one can find the guidance and resources to bring to life the most extraordinary of dreams.
The Summer Solstice is a time to reflect on your personal growth and the meaning of the season of light and growth. This is the moment of our year when there is the most light available to us. In terms of consciousness, it is when we are the most present to ourselves and who we know ourselves to be — the Sun represents the light of all life and consciousness. Seeds are planted in the Earth as well as the seeds of our souls. It’s a time of renewal and abundance, a time of love and expansion, as the summer sun unfolds the leaves on the trees, so do our souls open to receive the light of source to illuminate that which is within each of us.
Summer Solstice 2022 in the Northern Hemisphere will be on Tuesday, June 21, at 5:14 AM Eastern Standard Time, or 11:13 AM Central European Time.
Creating a ceremony or celebration is a way for humans to acknowledge the life force energy within us and give back to Creation some of the energy and blessings that we are always receiving.
The Earth constantly provides for all of us with her incredible bounty, and the Sun’s warmth provides the light necessary for all living beings to thrive and prosper.
The Solstice signifies the time when the Earth is at the fullness of her strength, fertility, and abundance, so we too can celebrate our strength in joining together, pollinating our spiritual consciousness through sharing, and offering gratitude for the abundance that which we experience daily.
The word “Solstice” is derived from the Latin words Sol+systere, meaning “Sun”+ “standing still.” The Summer Solstice is the longest day and the shortest night of the year. Following this Solstice, the days get shorter, the nights longer.
Fire is used symbolically throughout summer solstice celebrations in praise of the sun, to bring luck and to ward off the darkness.
Many traditions throughout time have celebrated the Solstices. Throughout history, with so much light being showered upon the Earth on this day, it’s been known as one of the most powerful days of the year for spiritual growth and healing.
Summer is a time to engage our Earth connection; and cultivate and deepen our connection to the divine energies all around us. In living with gratitude and understanding that reciprocity and respect for all that is given to us is, is the way to live as if all life is ceremony.
As we observe the blossoming of life all around us, we can receive the energy of vitality and experience awe for the generosity of the Earth, who provides for us everything that we need.
I hope you will join me to celebrate Summer Solstice by coming together and honouring our spiritual journey’s, expressing gratitude for all the blessings in our lives and planting the seeds of the dreams we wish to manifest into reality.
