Women's Summer Solstice
Celebration of Life
with Margaret MacDonald Kearney
& Skye MacKenzie
18-22 June 2026
(Starts Thursday evening 5.30pm -
ends Monday after lunch)
You are warmly invited to join us for a 4 day immersion into heart felt connection,
where we come to honour and celebrate our Divine nature.
Summer solstice is a potent time to gather and celebrate the uniqueness, and
sacredness of our personal and collective journeys.
Together we will gently prepare the ground for sowing our sacred seeds within,
by aligning to our’ inner medicine wheel’ - helping us bring balance, clarity and
harmony into our daily living. Through meditation, deep listening and simply
being 'present', our hearts can open and expand, as we embody the ‘divine’ into
our daily life.
Together, we will deepen our sense of harmony and balance through simple tools
which quiet the mind and help keep our hearts open and expanded during ‘circle
sharings’ and periods of silence.
During this gathering, mindful nature connection and devotional contemplation
will be part of our sharing, as well as gathering herbs for tea infusions, and
preparation of vegetable and fruit juices to cleanse, renew and revitalise our
physical, mental and emotional bodies.
Summer Solstice will be marked with a fire ceremony, in recognition of all the
gifts and teachings this cycle has presented. We will also participate in a
cleansing sauna ritual with water ablutions from the healing well, to help us
release and let go, all that no longer serves this next cycle.
As we remember and awaken to our true nature, we also begin to embrace the
gift of equanimity, where inner spaciousness allows us to be at peace in all
circumstances. Trust, flow, ease and grace can then find a place in this
transformative process back to equilibrium.
Through self-investigation, meditation, journal writing, mindful movement, dance,
breath and voice work, we will weave a new way of ‘being’ in this world.
We will also share our creative expressions through an 'art project', held within
the nurturing space of the healing well garden.
Let us bring our hearts and hands together to co-create a place of belonging,
peace and natural beauty, within and without!
