Celebrating the Light Within and Around Us

The longest day of the year invites us to pause, play, and reflect.

Summer Solstice is more than a seasonal marker—it’s a portal. A reminder to celebrate light, expansion, and the wild, growing parts of ourselves.

In ancient cultures, the solstice marked the peak of abundance. A time to gather, give thanks, and turn toward the light.

What parts of you are ready to rise this season?

What stories are unfolding in the sunshine of your life?

Solstice Practice:

Since this is the season of fire, I've been thinking a lot about what lights us up?  Not just in the "inspired" way, but the fierce way.  The kind of FIRE that wakes us up, speaks truth, breaks a pattern or remind us of who we really are.

MY FIRE MOMENT:

Step outside, let your spirit be charged in the sun.  Think about a moment when you felt on fire in your life.  It could be a bold decision, a truth you owned, a boundary you set, a passion you realized or even a time you surprised yourself:

• When did you feel fierce, powerful and fully alive?
• What has it helped you accomplish recently?

MY PEAK MOMENT:

The Summer Solstice, marks the sun at its absolute peak.  It's most radiant and expansive expression.  Reflect on a moment this year when you were at your peak.

• What have you accomplished recently that you feel really proud of?

THE LETTING GO:

The solstice doesn't just mark the sun at its highest point, it also signals a turning.  From here, the days begin to shorten.  This is the pivot from fullness into release.  So I'll invite you to consider: 

• Wha't come fill circle in your life?
• What are you ready to let go of? (Not in a dramatic way, but in a way that honors what's complete.) 

And lastly:

• What light am I ready to honor—in myself and others?

Light a candle, make a toast, gather in community.

Let it be sacred. Let it be joyful.
