Summer Solstice 2023 Retreat

It all begins with knowing
nothing lasts forever…
In the meantime,
practice being alive.

–Pádraig Ó Tuama

The Summer Solstice is the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The Sun is at its highest position in the sky. It tends to stir our inner fires, accelerates our movements, and gives us opportunities to shed bodily toxins.

Take part in any of 3 offerings to properly and gently transition into this season that reminds us of the passionate, purifying qualities of summer.

** All who attend the at-home portion will receive a PDF of Solstice-centered content created by Heather Drew. This is made up of short readings and reflections, writing/meditation prompts, and guided embodiment practices for each day. These are available for the participant’s self-nourishment and can be completed (or not) at their individual pace and comfort level. ❤️
