Rooted Radiance
A Sacred Threshold. A Wild Remembering
The Summer Solstice is a portal, a time to attune to destiny and ride the path of synchronicity. Join us for a weekend of deep reflection and connection. Awaken the Grid * Anchor the Light * Ride the Wave of Synchronicity and step into the dream of Creation.
June 20 - 22, 2025
We stand at a profound threshold - perhaps one of the most pivotal moments of our lifetime. A call echoes: to awaken, to anchor light, and to co-create with Gaia through the power of our presence and imagination. At the height of the Summer Solstice, you are invited into a two-day ceremonial journey—an opportunity to return to your body, reconnect with the Earth, and listen deeply to the quiet wisdom within. Rekindle your sense of wonder, restore clarity, and root into a vibrant, living vitality. Let the Summer Solstice serve as a cosmic tuning fork—an energetic activation guiding you home to the deepest truth of who you are.
Join us for a two-day Ceremonial Clarity Quest during the radiant height of the Summer Solstice - when the Sun reaches its zenith and the natural world opens a portal for illumination, insight, and renewal.
Together, in a circle of kindred souls, you’ll be gently guided through:
Sacred ceremonies to awaken your elemental connection
Soul inquiry and deep reflection to meet your inner truth
Creative expression to unlock inner vision
Earth-honouring rituals to restore harmony within and around you
Held at The Living Centre, where wild beauty and intentional space meet, nature becomes more than a backdrop, it becomes an ally, a teacher, and a mirror.
This is a space to slow down. To listen. To feel the pulse of the Earth echo in your heartbeat.
You may find yourself…
Feeling grounded, connected—like the land itself knows your name
Hearing the quiet wisdom within you rise into clarity
Reclaiming joy, wonder, and wildness long tucked away
Shedding old burdens and making space for something new
Walking forward with purpose, courage, and a renewed sense of belonging
This isn’t just a retreat. It’s a rite of remembrance. It’s a return to the sacred rhythm of life, and your place within it.
Come home to what matters. Come home to yourself.
"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" – Mary Oliver
