The Summer Solstice is my favourite day of the year. I love light, and it's the perfect day for celebrating the highest point of the year.
This year I am hosting a women's gathering - including shamanic drumming, a fire ceremony and guided meditation, deep in the heart of nature.
It is the first of hopefully, regular theraputic group work evenings - to allow clients and friends to get together and experience a different type of healing power that is obtained within circle work.
The aim of this evening is to enable like-minded souls to join together, make new friends, have fun and raise positive energy. There will also be the chance to powerful let go of old energy - creating space for the next cycle and attracting more of what you want into your life.
I made the picture to the left especially for this event and will be bringing it with me to absorb the sacred energy. If you have items you wish to energise - crystals, jewellery, etc - please bring them along for adding to the alter (see below). I often use a jar of honey for this purpose - you can then have spoonful in the months to come - when you need a positive boost!
Please Dress for the Occasion!
There are no rules here, turn up however you like! However I encourage you to add some colour or creativity to your outfit. Masks, wigs, hats, face/body paint, feathers, special jewellery bright scarves or colourful clothing are all possible ideas. Also remember it might be cold - this summer isn't exactly a scorcher, so jumpers, wellies, warm socks etc are probably also quite useful. If it rains I will work something out - but fingers crossed it will be a beautiful, warm evening.
What to Bring
The list below are suggestions - feel free to interpret my ideas and choose what resonates for you.
Fire Ceremony
After connecting the circle, the fire ceremony is the first part of the evening. Each person will have their turn to release their old energy - throwing or directing it to the fire, as we all support them in doing so. This will be followed by them giving their offering to the fire - to say thank you for its help.
Guided Meditation
I will then lead a guided meditation to take you on a journey with the drum - to either clarify your vision for the next cycle of the seasons, or gain guidance on the next steps to take towards your dream. You may sit down for this, or dance or sway - or sing or rattle or join in the drumming. Reiki will also be sent round the circle, to raise the energy further.
At the end we will re-ground and herbal tea and snacks will be provided - although please do eat before you come. There will be time before and after to chat and I am aiming to wrap it up by 8.30-9pm for people who need to get back to families etc.
So looking forward to seeing you all.
Love and Light,
Rachel
