# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Pivot of Light: Honoring the Solstice Shift
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 03:00 pm – Sat, 20 Jun, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The summer solstice is not just the longest day. In the Traditional Chinese Medicine calendar, it is the peak of Yang Fire — and the exact moment Yin is born within it. The pivot between Summer (Heart) and Late Summer (Earth).

June 20th is called the "first day of summer" in the West. But in the TCM calendar, it is the pivot: the peak of Yang and the birth of Yin. The hottest days are still ahead, but that heat is the waning of Yang, not its rise. We are not entering summer. We are standing at its crest, beginning the turn toward Earth.

Join licensed acupuncturist Melody Osgood and sound healer Zach Osgood for an evening of embodied alignment with this turning point.

We begin with cacao — to open the heart and warm the channel.

Then Fire — gentle qigong for the Heart, followed by the Daoist sacred sound HE, releasing excess heat and scattered joy.

You pull an Alchemy Card — a personal symbol of your solstice pivot.

A still point — silent meditation. Nothing to do. Just the pivot itself.

Then Earth — qigong for the Spleen, rooting into the belly, followed by the sacred sound HO, settling Qi and clearing worry.

Acupuncture — points to balance the Heart, clear excess Fire, and begin the transition into Late Summer Earth.

Sound bath — as the needles rest, Zach leads a journey that mirrors the solstice: bright and expansive, then a still pivot, then descending into deep, grounding earth tones.

Needles out. Quiet return. No release ritual. Just the pivot, held.

Come for the turn. Leave rooted in both fire and earth.
