Embrace the Summer Solstice—the longest day of the year, when the sun's radiant energy is at its peak, and nature pulses with vibrant life. As we honor this powerful transition, we recognize that we, too, are reflections of the earth's abundant energy. This is a time for expansion, celebration, and deep gratitude for all that has blossomed.

In this sacred offering, you'll be invited to connect with the seasonal energies and yourself through embodiment practices, cacao, ecstatic dance, guided meditation, and crystal bowl sound healing. With the rhythmic, bass filled frequencies of drum and bass, the energy of the Solstice will carry you into a state of joyous celebration and reflection, uniting music, movement, and heart-centered connection.

We'll conclude with a warm tea and a delicious seasonal cake (courtesy of Tiny Seed—vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free), offering a sweet moment of togetherness as we honor the beauty and transformative energy of the Summer Solstice.

Join us in this sacred space where nature, heart, and spirit unite.

Experience the heart opening, uplifting and blissful effects of the Amaru Ceremonial Cacao from Seleno Health which will be lovingly served.
