We are almost a week out from our Summer Solstice Celebration! Here's an update on our schedule and classes offered:

WELCOME
3:00-3:15
We will meet in the sanctuary to open our celebration, introduce our practitioners, and go over some housekeeping-type notes.

HERBAL TEA TUTORIAL
3:15-4:15 pm
Herbalist Krysta Wasilewski will bring to life the ancient practice of using plants to support health and well-being through this one-hour workshop. We will dig deep into teas, infusions, and decoctions, including their uses, benefits, and differences. Reciprocity and relationship with the plants will be at the core of this session, with helpful guidance provided on ethical harvesting. Enjoy a sampling of summer teas as we learn together!

REIKI ROUNDUP
4:30-5:30 pm
In this hands-on demonstration with Constance K***z, we will practice ancient techniques to help you see yourself in new light(s). We'll teach you a little about your chakras, talk about the "signs" around you (what you have noticed -- more than usual -- in nature and wildlife?), and help you restore a healthy, appropriate culture of touch for yourself and your community. Some natural sounds and oils will be used to assess a variety of surrounding frequencies. Please bring a notebook and pen/pencil.

SOLSTICE CELEBRATION
5:30-8:30 pm
Dance, revel, and be merry at our solstice celebration featuring intentional ceremony, a shared potluck feast, live music, and nostalgic whimsy.

Workshop sessions are opt-in. We will have self-guided meditation altars and simple crafts available for those not participating in a workshop. You are welcome to walk our labyrinth, prairie garden, or beautiful sanctuary on your own time. This is a spiritually inclusive and welcoming space.

Happy to field any questions here!!
