We are gathering for a special Summer Solstice Celebration

Summer Solstice is the powerful planetary moment when the tilt of the Earth brings us closest to Rā, the sun. It is the longest day of the year. We celebrate the abundance of earth and sun. It is time to express gratitude for the life-giving food of the sun and the warmth and energy we receive.

On the rising of the Solstice we will gather in sacred circle honoring Papatūānuku, Rā, each other and all who graced this earth before us.

Our celebration will run over two nights and three days.
In a idelic spot nestled amongst native bush, tall totaara trees and beside river and hills.
