Summer Solstice 2026

Every year, around June 21st, people around the world celebrate the Summer Solstice – the longest day of the year and a cosmic turning point. Ancient cultures saw this as a moment of powerful solar energy, inviting reflection, growth, and awakening.

The Summer Solstice represents the culmination or peak of the Sun’s journey in this Solar Year. The subtle solar energies of the Sun and the Yang energy are at their maximum. All the seeds that were planted at the time of the Spring Equinox begin to fructify in the Highest Light, both in Nature and also in our Inner Universe, according to our Spiritual Aspirations and the Seeds we planted inside ourselves.

The Summer Solstice is a time of Celebration that gave rise to the many festivals and celebration around the world, some of which still continue to this day.

This highest peak of the Sun, which also represents the Maximum of Light and Consciousness favours an awakening or deepening into the essence of our Consciousness – the inner light within or the Immortal Self, ATMAN.

It also represents the opening of a certain subtle energetic portal, granting easier access into the Spiritual Realms.

The program will consist of a general presentation on the significance of the Summer Solstice followed by a meditation to tune in with the subtle sphere of force active in this special time.

Optionally, we may also be able to enjoy a small bonfire – sitting around the fire like our ancestors used to do :) or simply enjoying the powerful rays of the nourishing Sun, becoming conscious of its enlightening radiance projected and reflected in our being.

• Sharing and Conclusions: 10:45 to 11:00
