Summer Solstice (MI) 2023
https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1158894
Also known as Litha or Midsummer, SUMMER SOLSTICE is celebrated all over the world as it is the longest day of the year.
Many cultures celebrate and give offerings to the sun for abundance and health in the new year and many ancient structures such as Karnak Temple, Egypt. ..Chichen Itza, Mexico. …
Temple of the Sun, Machu Picchu, Peru. …Jantar Mantar, India. …
Karahan Tepe, Turkey. …Stonehenge, England and many many more were built to watch the sunrise and sunset during the solstices.
During the Summer Solstice we celebrate the energising light of the Sun and the light within each of us. The cycle of the Sun represents the cycle of our lives and reflects the natural flow of energy moving inward and outward.
Through honouring this sacred day of light, we energetically set in motion a period of awakening in our consciousness which lasts all summer, until the Autumn Equinox.
Summer is the time to develop faith in our life, squash the darkness with light, and trust that just like the Sun, we will rise each day no matter what life brings us.
