About the event
This in-person event will take place on Saturday 22nd June 2024 at 3pm and we will be welcoming the Summer Solstice which occurs on the 20th June 2024 in the Northern Hemisphere. We provide a safe space for you to take off the masks and allow you to be fully seen, heard and held.
This day marks the start of summer when the sun is at its peak; the number of hours of daylight are at their maximum, while the number of hours of night are at their minimum. It is a time of gladness and celebration; the first fruits have ripened on their vines, and Mother Nature had once again renewed herself. It is a time of new beginnings and life-enriching endings.
💫Women's circles are intimate gatherings where females discuss goals, concerns, stories, and advice. Women have gathered in ceremonious circles based on the cycles of the moon and their own menstruation throughout history. These circles were a ritual to connect with the natural world, each other, and celebrate the feminine. They were considered incredibly potent and healing, and it was thought that when women from the tribe gathered together and connected as one, they could connect to the divine and seek answers to any problem.Gathering in a circle of women can be a profoundly transformative yet vulnerable experience. Women circles can help us feel supported in navigating the ups and downs of life and help us feel less alone in what we are going through.
💫Cacao Ceremonies have been around for thousands of years, originating all the way back to Mayan and Aztec traditions in Central and South America. Cacao was an intrinsic part life, used as a pillar of their economies, spiritual, medicinal and ceremonial purposes. Cacao is a powerful plant medicine used for inner awakening and creative guidance. As part of the opening ceremony, we will be drinking a beautiful homemade spiced cacao.
💫 Summer Solstice represents a time when ancient people of the Americas and Europe, sought year-long luck, fertility, abundance, and prosperity. Men and women would gather to pay tribute to the sun’s magnificence, to pray for a bountiful harvest, and to bolster the sun’s energy with bonfires and fireworks. Today, the summer solstice represents an optimal time to reflect upon the blessings we have received in seasons past and visualise the new bounties we hope to receive in the season just beginning to flourish. At noon, when the sun is at its highest point, we can pay reverence to its incredible strength and its ability to create life while also reflecting on the impermanence of life as represented by the evanescence of the season.
💫Sound Healing is a beautiful way of shifting stagnant energies, allowing you to rebalance your mind, body and soul. We will end the session with the soothing vibrations of various instruments, including Himalayan crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, a drum and chimes. Singing bowls have been used for centuries in religious and spiritual ceremonies; deeply rooted in science, they are based on principles of quantum physics and sacred geometry. The sounds release different frequencies and vibrations which are known to be nourishing and restorative. This soothing and calming practice can alleviate you of any negative energy, induce your meditative state and realign your internal frequency. Everyone's experience is different, but most people tend to feel very relaxed and peaceful and are able to drift into a light sleep.
