🌞 Summer Solstice Gathering
Saturday 20th June | 4.00pm – 8.00pm
Forest Harvest, Woodmill, Yoxall
We gather on the eve of the Summer Solstice, as the light reaches its peak and the turning begins.
This is a time to honour the fullness of life, to celebrate the warmth of the sun, and to come together in community as the golden light stretches across the land.
Held within the peaceful, rustic setting of Forest Harvest, this afternoon and evening gathering offers space to slow down, connect with nature, and gently open into the energy of the Solstice.
We begin with a simple opening ceremony and a creative craft, taking time to ground, reflect, and set our intentions for the season ahead. As the afternoon unfolds, we walk the grove together, connecting with the land and the quiet presence of the trees.
There will be time to rest and share tea, before we come together for a relaxed, shared picnic. You are welcome to bring your own food, or you can pre-order a simple picnic when booking.
As we move into the evening, we gather for a cacao meditation with gentle sound, allowing the body and heart to open and receive. From here, we enter the fire circle, where we will drum, sing, and share in the warmth and rhythm of the group, celebrating the height of the sun and the turning of the wheel.
This is a relaxed and welcoming gathering, open to all who feel called to mark the Solstice in a meaningful and grounded way.
