Summer Solstice Celebration June 17

Past event
Jun 17, 2018, 1 to 4 PM

Hello Everyone!

The weather is getting so deliciously warm and sunny and In Sacred Balance would love for you to join us in celebrating that warmth and the approaching pinnacle of light that is summer solstice. We will be gathering to honor this time of year and the gifts of consciousness and light that it offers. For the longest day of the year we gather to honor the beauty and bounty of the earth, and the potential for healing offered by the bright light of the sun. It is a lovely opportunity to celebrate the season with song, stories, community, and a ritual blessing on the waters of the world. If you are interested in reading more about summer solstice and In Sacred Balance's approach for celebrating it, Tara Rubinstein has written beautifully about it here: https://www.redseeds.org/so/7MFG6W0K#/main

We will be meeting at 14 Winooski St. in Waterbury, Vermont from 1-4 pm on Sunday, June 17. From there, we will walk down to the water together to join in song and a ritual blessing on the water.

Please bring a small, biodegradable, offering for the flotilla (flowers are perfect, but other small natural objects also work) as well as something small for a snack-y potluck following the celebration.

This event is free, family friendly, and gender-inclusive. The walk down to the water takes about 10 minutes and involves walking through a grassy meadow; if this poses any obstacles for you, please feel free to be in touch with me and we can navigate that together.

Message me (tegant07@gmail.com) with any questions and please be sure to RSVP if you plan on attending, so that we know to wait for you before heading down to the water.

Happy Solstice!
