Golden Sun Retreat ~ Summer Solstice

There is a moment in the year when the earth stands in full light. The sun reaches its highest point, the day stretches wide, and life reveals itself without hiding. It is a brief pause within the turning of the seasons where nothing is being pushed forward and nothing is being asked to change. Only the quiet recognition of what has already come into being.

Golden Light is a Summer Solstice gathering held in honour of that moment. A space to slow down and sit inside the warmth of the season, to acknowledge what has grown since the early stirrings of spring, and to meet yourself within the fullness of where you now stand.

Where the Spring Equinox invited rebirth, the Solstice meets us in the height of life. A moment to recognise what has grown, what has opened, and what now stands fully in the light.

### What You’ll Experience

#### **Flower Crown Ritual**

Guided by a professional florist, you will create a simple wild flower crown. A gentle creative moment within the day. Flower crowns have long been worn during midsummer celebrations. Here it becomes a small ritual to honour the blossoming of the season and to celebrate the divine being that you are.

#### **Summer Solstice Wisdom**

We begin by gathering around the deeper meaning of the Summer Solstice. A moment in the year when the sun stands at its highest point and life is held in full light. Together we reflect on what this season invites. A recognition of vitality, growth and the natural rhythm we are part of.

#### **Golden Light Meditation**

A guided meditation held in the spirit of the Solstice. A quiet space to meet the light within you and recognise what has been growing in your life..

#### **Solar Sound Journey**

A solar themed sound journey where you are invited to lie back and receive. Sound and vibration create space for the body to soften and the mind to quiet. A moment to rest in the warmth of the season and allow the experience of the gathering to move through you.

#### **Soulful Community**

Within our circle there is space for honest connection, quiet reflection, and the simple experience of being seen as you stand where you are in your life.

#### **A Touch of Mystery**

The day holds space for unexpected insights, subtle shifts, and moments of magic that unfold when you allow yourself to fully open to transformation.

Who This Is For

For those who feel something stir when the seasons turn.

People who sense that the Solstice is more than just a date in the calendar and who wish to meet it with presence, reflection and community. You may already have your own practice or simply feel the desire to step away from the pace of everyday life and spend a day marking this moment in the year.

No previous experience is needed. Only a willingness to arrive as you are and to be present with what the day holds.

Come as you are. Stand for a while in the golden light.

### **The space **

First Light will be held at MaxWell-Being, a vibrant and serene wellness venue nestled in a tranquil setting. The retreat will take place in MWB's gorgeous yurt, complete with a cosy fireplace that invites warmth, presence, and connection. 

Free parking on site.
