Sacred Sound Summer Solstice Mini-Retreat at Avalon Acres

As the sun pauses, Summer Solstice is an opportunity to follow nature’s lead and find respite and stillness within.

Join us on Saturday, June 20 for an all-day mini-retreat at the magical Avalon Acres in Hollis.

During a gentle morning yoga practice, we’ll honor the Solstice by chanting the Gayatri Mantra and 2 other simple chants that you can use in your daily practice to greet the day.

There will be social silence during the lunch break, while you wander the trails, meditate by the river, play the forest chimes, or leave offerings for the resident fairies and spirits.

After lunch, weather permitting, we’ll create offerings to throw in the Solstice fire dispeling any inner demons or negative energy and drawing in our highest intentions, followed by a meditative Solstice themed Yoga Nidra and sound bath.

We’ll end the day with a closing circle and kirtan.

Mary Katherine has created a truly sacred space on her property and I’m absolutely delighted that she has invited us to share it.
