Seasonal Ceremonies
Summer Solstice Celebration
Summer has always been a joyous time of year. For indigenous people who lived in the Northern latitudes, snow had disappeared, the ground had thawed, warm temperatures had retuned, flowers had bloomed, leaves had returned to the deciduous trees, and herbs could be harvested. Food was more plentiful, as crops had been planted and would be ready for harvest in the months to come.
The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year and marks the beginning of the season. It reminds us of the cycles of nature and the principle of birth, life, death, and rebirth.
Come join us to celebrate one of the oldest holidays observed by man.
