Welcome, Summer

Throughout history, people have marked the Summer Solstice as a sacred day, taking time to celebrate the arrival of summer. From farmers who celebrated the solstice as the midpoint of the growing season, leading to prayer for continued growth and abundant crops, to people celebrating the warmth, energy, and vibrancy of the sun at peak, representing a triumph of light over darkness, the summer solstice has plenty of roots across history and location of being an occasion worthy of marking.

For us at Wild Sanctuary Retreat, we were able to host our very first Summer Solstice Mini Retreat just a couple days before the summer solstice and it was a beautiful time of bright energy, perfect weather, joyful conversation, and meaningful moments.
