I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable, beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings.' ~ Mary Oliver Magic is afoot! In Celtic folklore, it is said that Magic is strongest at the time of the Summer Solstice. This is a bright time of celebration for the Fae, when the veil between our worlds is thin, and they can easily cross over to connect with us. Faeries, Pixies and Nature Spirits gather, and you are invited to slow down, tread lightly, and listen. Summer Solstice marks the first day of summer and the longest day of the year. Solar energy is flooding the Earth, and the universe is at the peak of expansion. Our gardens bloom with life as we celebrate fertility, nature and new beginnings. What happens when you let loose the tight grip of Logic and open to the realm of magic? What mystical beings wait to whisper into your listening ear? What new beginnings will you usher in now? Nature is our co-guide as we reconnect with the elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. ______________________ SUMMER SOLSTICE ALTAR: You are invited to bring special objects that connect you with the magic of Summer Solstice. These will be energised with our collective energy during the dance, and then you take them home at the end, to carry the energy forward in your life. ______________________ :: RIVER :: River (Helen Pattinson) is a certified Dancing Freedom™ facilitator, yoga teacher and shamanic guide.
