Clarity Quest: A Summer Solstice Ceremony

Shantree Kacera, RH, DN, P.hD.

There are moments in life when something deeper calls.

Not the voice of ambition or obligation, but a quieter current—one that rises from the bones, from the breath, from the land itself.

The Summer Solstice is one of those moments.
An ancient threshold.
A holy pause.
A place where light meets shadow and asks:

Are you ready to see clearly?
Are you ready to live aligned?

The Solstice marks the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The sun, in its full radiance, seems to stand still—neither rising nor falling. And in that stillness, something sacred becomes available. The brilliance of life-force is at its peak. The seeds we’ve planted—consciously or not—have taken root. What has been growing beneath the surface comes into full view. What has been hidden cannot help but be revealed.

This is not just a seasonal event.
It is a cosmic mirror.
A call to illumination.

The world tells us to keep moving.
To strive. To push. To keep doing.
But the Earth, in her deep wisdom, offers a different rhythm.

Pause.
Listen.
Realign.

A Clarity Quest is a ceremonial passage. A soul-tending experience that invites you into the wild truth of your own knowing. It is not about chasing clarity—it is about remembering it. Because clarity is not something we find. It is something we uncover when we make space for what’s real.

This ceremony is for those who know they are at a turning point.
Those who feel the stirrings of something new, but don’t yet have the words.
Those whose bodies are whispering “not this”
—yet don’t quite know the “what now.”

To quest for clarity is to step into the fire of transformation.

To release old skins, stories, and shoulds.
To sit in the silence and allow the Earth, the elements, and the unseen to speak.
To welcome vision, not as a plan, but as a deep embodiment of truth.

You may walk this path in solitude or in sacred circle.
There may be fire.
There may be tears.
There will be light.

Because when we honour the Solstice with reverence, we remember what we are:
A living prayer.
A spark of purpose.
A body of stardust and soil aching to belong.

There is no one way to quest.
But there is one essential ingredient:
Willingness.
To show up.
To listen.
To surrender to the wisdom already living in your bones.

This Summer Solstice, let the light do its holy work.
Let it burn through what is false.
Let it bless what is true.
Let it illuminate the next steps of your path—not from the mind, but from the soul.

This is a ceremony of clarity.
This is an act of devotion.
This is your invitation.

"When the soul wants to experience something, she throws out an image in front of her and then steps into it."
— Meister Eckhart

What image is your soul throwing now?
What life is calling you forward?
What old story is asking to be shed so that your true self can emerge?

Stand still in the light.
Let yourself be seen.
Let yourself remember.

You were made for this turning.

And now is the time.

If you feel called to this sacred passage, to step into your clarity and alignment at the peak of the Sun’s power, I invite you to join us in a Summer Solstice Clarity Quest ceremony. Whether in solitude, in a small circle, or a guided retreat, this is your moment to claim your path with intention and soul.
