2022 Summer Solstice Ceremony
June 4th Preparation
June 23rd to June 26th
Join Us...for a unique ceremonial experience.
In this time of the Summer Solstice, we invite you to gather both OnLine and OnEarth, to create your own ceremony in celebration of the gifts of Mother Life and to discover what we each choose to give back to Her during this next Cycle of the Sun.

Structure:
REGISTER BEFORE JUNE 2nd
Begin on June 4th at 10:00 AM PST with a two-hour online ceremony to prepare for the four-day ceremony.
On June 23rd, 24th, 25th, and 26th, gather with others online for 2.5 hours each day and spend time on the Earth in reflective ceremony, wherever you are.
We will provide guidance online and a "light scaffolding" for each day's ceremony on the land. There will be space for triads to meet and for spontaneous conversations to occur online during the four days. Tslagi practice will be offered each day by Grace York.
When you commit to participating in the 2022 Summer Solstice Ceremony, we ask that you make space in your life to be present for the entire ceremony, just as you would if we were gathering at Sequoia Retreat Center, as we have for the last 20 years.
