One of the most powerful ways we can support and empower ourselves is by grounding into the rhythms of the moon, sun, and stars. Creating ritual around the seasons is a way that we can live more authentically and in alignment with nature. The longest and brightest day of the year, the Summer Solstice is a time to celebrate life, love, and inspiration - and the sacred connection between Mother Earth and Father Sun. Join Abby in collaboration with MRY Studios in Washington, DC for this special event where, together, we will honor and ally with the powerful celestial energies at play during this time.
We'll begin by grounding into the present moment, centering into ourselves, and invoking the support of our guides and ancestors through ceremony. Each person will have the opportunity to pull an Oracle Card to guide and clarify their unique intention, whether for the new season or just the Moon cycle. Then, we'll move through a fiery yoga practice that will weave together pranayama, asana, and guided visualization to empower and connect you with your heart and spirit.
This Summer Solstice also aligns with a New Moon, creating a special celestial confluence that we can work with to create shifts in our lives. This particular New Moon is in sidereal Gemini, in the Vedic constellation of Mrigashirsha, or "The Head of the Deer." Astronomically, these are the stars in Orion, and this area of the sky is associated with the color silver (wear this color to increase the potency of this ceremony). Energetically, having the moon in this area of the sky presents us with a powerful opportunity to slow down, think clearly and deliberately, and use the intellect to guide ourselves more skillfulfully towards our soul's true path.
Please bring a journal and pen, and bring anything special or sacred that you’d like to add to our communal altar.
