This invitation speaks to the heart of our shared yearning for connection and meaning in a world often marked by division and suffering. Rediscovering our innate harmony with the Living Earth offers a profound opportunity for healing and transformation.

Join us for a two-day Ceremonial Clarity Quest during the radiant height of the Summer Solstice—an invitation to come home to your body, your breath, and the rhythm of the Earth. Here, ancient wisdom meets your deepest truth.

As the Sun reaches its zenith, its luminous power offers more than light—it offers clarity, courage, and renewal. This is a rare threshold where nature opens a portal for transformation, illuminating the path ahead with warmth, insight, and joy.

In a world that often feels fractured and rushed, this is your chance to slow down and listen—to your heart, to the Earth, and to the quiet whispers of your soul.

Together, in a circle of like-hearted seekers, you’ll be guided through:

• Sacred ceremonies to awaken your elemental connection

• Deep reflection and guided soul inquiry

• Creative expression to unlock inner vision

• Earth-honouring rituals to restore balance within and without

All of this unfolds in the nurturing sanctuary of The Living Centre, where nature is not just a backdrop—it is an ally and teacher.

Through this sacred journey, you may find yourself...

• Feeling your feet on the Earth in a new way—as if the land itself knows your name

• Hearing the quiet voice of your inner knowing grow stronger and clearer

• Reclaiming forgotten parts of yourself—your joy, your wildness, your wonder

• Letting go of burdens you've carried for too long, making space for renewal

• Awakening each morning with a sense of direction, grounded in purpose

• Feeling more alive in your body, more open in your heart, more at home in the world

• Remembering that you are not alone, but part of the great weaving of life

This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a rite of remembrance. A return to the sacred. A reclaiming of your place in the web of life.

Join us during this potent Solstice window for a transformational experience that nourishes your spirit, connects you to the Earth, and empowers your next steps.

Summer Solstice Celebration (Community Event) - Opening the Heart, Honouring the Earth
Includes:

Sacred Cacao Ceremony  

• Cacao, known as the "Food of the Gods," has been used in sacred ceremony for thousands of years as a plant ally for heart-opening, emotional healing, and spiritual connection. Cacao reminds us that healing doesn’t always come through force—but through softness, sweetness, and returning to the rhythm of the heart.

Wild Earth Ecstasy Dance

• In this ceremony, we gather in reverence to receive cacao not just as a drink, but as a teacher—one that gently softens the barriers around the heart and invites us into deeper presence, connection, and clarity.

Sacred Fire Ceremony: Illuminating Your Intention

• As the Solstice fire burns, we gather in sacred circle to set intentions for the coming cycle. Fire, the great transformer, invites us to bring our inner truth into the light—what we are ready to release, and what we are ready to embody.

• In this ceremony, we offer our intentions to the flames, letting them be witnessed, blessed, and energized by the spirit of the fire. It is a moment of clarity, courage, and commitment—where desire meets devotion, and the spark of your next becoming is ignited.

Closing with Gratitude & Silence Under the Stars

Held in a sacred container of music, intention, and guided meditation, this ceremony offers a space to align with your inner truth, awaken joy, and remember your interconnectedness with the Earth and all of life.
