🧘♀️ What to Bring for Your Comfort
Please bring your own yoga mat, blanket, cushions, pillows, or anything else that helps you feel cozy and supported.
Our garden space has cobblestone ground, so we recommend using a double yoga mat, camp mat, or adding extra blankets for comfort. Dress in layers to stay comfortable as temperatures shift.
We do not offer mat rentals, but a limited number of blankets will be available to rent ($5) or purchase on site.
Energy healing
Each participant will receive generous doses of energy healing throughout the sound journey. The practitioner may use light touch or a hovering of hands.
Each participant will also receive vibrational therapy where bowls are gently placed and played directly on the body.
*If you prefer not to be touched please see the front desk for a “no touch” mat marker.
Tibetan vibrational therapy bowls on-the-body
As part of your Summer Solstice experience, you'll receive vibrational therapy using Tibetan singing bowls placed and played directly on the body.
These sound vibrations help release tension, balance energy, and support inner clarity—perfect for this powerful time of light and renewal.
Let the healing tones align you with the solstice’s energy of illumination, transformation, and new intention.
prayer tree
🌞 Summer Solstice Prayer Tree
The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year—a time of light, abundance, and reflection. It’s a powerful moment to honor how far you’ve come and set intentions for the second half of the year.
🌿 How to Participate:
Reflect on the past six months—what have you grown, released, or learned?
Write a prayer, gratitude, or intention for what you want to invite into your life moving forward.
Tie your tag to the tree with care and presence. Pause for a breath or silent blessing if you'd like.
This tree holds our shared hopes and growth. May your intentions take root and flourish.
Flower Mandala
🌼 How to Participate:
Bring Flowers or Natural Offerings
Collect flowers from your garden, wildflowers, petals, herbs, leaves, or even small stones and feathers. Make sure your offerings are biodegradable.
Arrive with Intention
Before you add to the mandala, pause and reflect. What are you celebrating or releasing? Set a personal intention—something you want to invite more of as the sun reaches its peak.
Add Your Offering to the Mandala
Place your flowers mindfully into the growing circle. There’s no right or wrong way—just follow the flow, symmetry, and collective energy of the design. It’s about co-creation, not perfection.
Take a Moment of Stillness
After placing your offering, take a moment to sit in stillness. Breathe in the scents, colors, and unity of the mandala. You’re part of something bigger—a living, breathing symbol of harmony and renewal. An act of presence and impermanence.
Invitation to Bring Solar Food to Share

Save when you pre-register for all 4 seasonal sound journeys
The solstices & equinoxes mark the four solar quarters of our year. They are flash points that ask us to reorient our lives around a new theme -- a new season literally beckons us to embrace its wisdom.
Celebrating these transitions dates back to when humans lived in deep rhythm with the earth. By honoring each different phase of the light, we allow nature to guide us through the inevitable changes of life without resistance and grow our capacity to hear the whispers of our soul — something especially important for those of us living in cities!
