Come join us as we gather around the bonfire in the campground, sharing stories and releasing challenges of this last year while surrounded among friends we know and friends we just haven’t met yet. We often make ourselves aware of the earth’s directions and their meaning. Generally, we also share a song or two! Then we honor the earth’s trip around the sun with a releasing of challenges we may have experienced throughout the year. We often do this by writing these down on a piece of paper and releasing them into the fire. Afterwards we will share what we hope to bring in this year as the earth makes its journey around the sun. These may be at the personal, community or national level. What's special about this year? Astrologically this solstice is particularly significant as it brings the Sun into the sign of Cancer, and it also coincides with a full moon in Sagittarius. The combination of these events creates a powerful & expansive energy associated with emotional renewal, exploration, alignment and the desire for freedom and truth.
