Summer Solstice

This past Saturday, we held a little solstice ceremony at the beach. We went to Kalama Beach, which is about a half mile walk from our house. After constructing a windbreak shelter for our altar of flowers, we had a picnic supper while we watched the surf and filled up our bellies for the ceremony.





Danielle had done some research about solstice ceremonies and rituals and prepared the agenda. Unfortunately, it was a little too windy to use the candles that she had planned for. The rest of the "event" was wonderful!

Danielle had put together a sachet of herbs that we each held and put any negative thoughts that we had in it. We then buried those thoughts with the flowers.




The final piece was for us to each say what we needed strength and patience for in our lives.

It was a really wonderful way to celebrate the solstice. Thank you Danielle!!
