I?t’s time for to celebrate the summer solstice! Whether you call it Midsommar or Litha, the summer solstice is a fantastic time to reflect on everything that is going right in our lives. It’s a time to celebrate the sun, the earth, and sisterhood. Bring back ceremony and ritual to your life. Bring back community and sisterhood, and reclaim your connection to the earth’s cycles.
Including ceremony, a walk through a private forest, freeform dance, share circle, solitary time for reflection and journaling in nature, and finishing with traditional Midsommar refreshments. The day will be filled with traditional Midsommar symbolism and associations, ensuring each part of the day is in full celebration of this most beautiful day and honoring the traditional origins.
T?he event will be kept intimate, focusing on a goal of 9-12 women. So reserve soon if you’re interested!
