In that liminal space just before waking,
there was a dream of millions of us gathering on the solstice.
Honoring the darkest of the dark and the lightest of the light.
Drinking in the nourishing medicine of the dark.
This year of completion (astrologically a 9 toward a 1, a shedding snake to a horse full of vitality) is a HUGE transition year.
The Solstice is like putting a tone or a mood to an entire year,
from root to bloom.
So let's all listen in together.
We’d love to see you for any or all gatherings in WA or Costa Rica this year!
