SUMMER SOLSTICE HALF DAY RETREAT

Service Description

In just four hours, these retreats cut through the static. We move slow and strong through ritual, guided meditation, somatic practice, sound, and tarot. Each element is a key, unlocking something deeper. No fluff. Just space to remember what’s real, what’s yours, and what you’re ready to release.We close with grounding food, a fresh, healing dhal shared in quiet or connection.It’s not just a retreat. WHY GATHER ? Because ancient rhythms still live in our bones. Because the body understands what the mind forgets. Because aligning with nature’s cycles recalibrates us.  WHAT TO EXPECT (3:00–6:30pm): From a yogic perspective, the Summer Solstice is associated with: 🔥Surya (the sun) – the source of vitality, consciousness, and clarity. The solstice is a time to honor Surya through practice that energizes and purifies. 🔥 Tapas – the inner fire of discipline and transformation. At midsummer, our inner heat mirrors the outer — making it a powerful time to burn through old patterns and kindle new intentions. 🔥Sattva – a state of luminous clarity. Solstice light supports clarity, insight, and deeper stillness after movement. 🔥Abundance and bloom – the earth is at her ripest, and we gather to celebrate fertility, creativity, and all that’s come to fruition. 🔥 The fire element – bonfires, rituals, and solar offerings invite protection, vitality, and joy. 🔥 Turning of the wheel – the solstice reminds us that light and dark are always dancing. Even at the peak, change is already in motion.   HOW THE RETREAT FLOWS : 🜃 Opening Ritual — a grounded welcome and collective honoring of the moment 🜃 Guided Meditation & Breathwork — clear the static, root the nervous system 🜃 Solar Yogāsana Flow — strong, fluid, and intentional movement practice 🜃 Gong Sound Bath — vibrational integration & deep rest 🜃 Intuition Circle (Tarot + Sharing + Fresh Chai) — receive insight, reflect, and connect 🜃 Candlelit Vegan Supper — nourishing dhal, fresh bread, and gentle community   Every element is designed to meet the current moment: To hold complexity.
