Description

Come join your hosts Susan Sheldon, Jennifer Brouillard, Sherry Marriott, and Tom Bowen in celebration of the Sacred Summer Solstice portal. Honoring the seasonal and cosmic shifts offers a space for renewal, reflection, and reconnection. A pause point to come back home to yourself, to your power and to reclaim your sovereignty. The solstice energy can help realign and recalibrate your energy and your intentions for this next cycle.

These powerful cosmic points in our wheel of time reconnect us back into the Earth and help us to tune out the noise of the outside world. A quieter mind can hear our intuition over fear and worry. When we learn to trust in our innate knowing we recognize the truth of our wholeness and can find gratitude in the abundance of our light and the blessings we are surrounded by.

Connection within a supportive community is essential for our growth. This gathering is the opportunity to bring all of our unique and beautiful energies together to aid in the manifestation of the energetic shifts and changes we we all dream about for a more peaceful and heart-centered world. We would be so blessed if you were called to join us.

Costumes and whimsical garb  are welcomed, but not required. Come as you are inspired to, but crowns and wings are encouraged!

We have decided to forego registration, but feel free to click "interested" if you're contemplating joining us and "going" if you are committed to joining us. This helps to give us a rough idea of how many people we can expect.

Donations for the use of the beautiful land stewarded by Susan and Peter Sheldon are welcome, but not required.

This Gathering happens around meal time for some. Feel free to bring a potluck offering if you are called to, but it is not required. Include the name of your dish if you remember and your name so that if people have questions about ingredients they can come find you. Plates, napkins and utensils will be available. There will be a big picnic table to add your potluck offerings to upon arrival.

After you park you will meander down the path to the back field following the sounds of the welcome drum. Passing through the entryway to our gathering space you're welcomed to get smudged to clear your energy field if you are called to. Enter the sacred chime tree grove and open your heart to connections, support, and possibilities.

There will be walking involved to make your way down to where we gather.

***If walking to the field isn't accessible to you and you need accommodations to able to join us please let one of our hosts know prior to the Gathering so we can make arrangements for you.***
