Join us for a lushious day retreat - a nourishing solstice ceremony, to enliven and rejuvenate, to immerse in nature, ceremony and celebration.
Solstice comes from the Latin solstitium, meaning “sun stands still”, the longest day of light in summer, and the shortest in winter.
It is a moment to pause, reflect, and return to your breath and own rhythm before the end of the year and before the season of summer celebrations begin.
To honour the solstice, we're offering you a quiet invitation to slow down, soften, and return to self and celebrate who you are and the year you have had. The wins, the losses, the loves and the challanges.
Join us for a celebration of the Summer Solstice: Cacao Ceremony, Deep Dancing, shaking out the old and embracing the new, followed by a delicious nutritious lunch then slow and low deeply replenishing somatic yoga and a long drifting nidra to finish the day.
We gather to celebrate the longest day of light of the year, Summer Solstice, the dance between light and shadow, the celebration of the fullness of the sun and the magic that happens when we gather, hold space and celebrate together on these sacred dates.
