Join Us To Celebrate The Summer Solstice
Mini Retreat:Yoga &
Prayer Bead Bracelets
Celebrate the peak of summer with practices to energize and ground you.
An Afternoon to Welcome Summer
As the sun lingers long in the sky and summer reaches its fullest expression, we’ll gather for a Summer Solstice Mini Retreat— a gentle and meaningful way to honor this sacred turning point in the year.
We’ll begin with an accessible 108 Sun Salutations practice, moving and breathing together in community. This traditional solstice practice honors the sun’s peak energy and becomes a moving meditation. It is an embodied way to mark the season and celebrate the gift of warmth and light from God’s beautiful creation.
With energy flowing, we’ll enter a creative space as you craft your own Ignatian Examen bracelet. Using five beads to represent each of the movements of the Examen (Gratitude, Petition, Review, Forgiveness, and Renewal) along with a meaningful charm to represent God’s presence. This tactile guide will help you notice and respond to God throughout your days, carrying the awareness of this solstice light with you into the ordinary rhythms of summer.
This mini retreat is a time to:
☀️ Pause and honor the sacred rhythm of the seasons
🧘♀️ Engage your body in a meaningful and accessible solstice tradition
📿 Create something with your hands to support your prayer and reflection
🌿 Root yourself in God’s presence as summer unfolds

Meet Your Guides
We’re Kimee and Aelea— two kindred spirits who believe that God meets us in the sacred ordinary and the wild sanctuary of our right now lives. Together, we bring years of experience in yoga, spiritual formation, ministry, and soul care, along with a shared desire to create spaces of depth, gentleness, beauty and delight. Put simply, we are space holders for receiving and extending God’s love out into the world.
Our retreats are born from our friendship, our love of yoga and contemplative practices, and our desire to invite others into the kind of presence that heals and holds.
