Celebrate the Sun, the Summer, and the Joy of Being Together
Join us on June 21st for a full day of celebration as we welcome the arrival of summer with open hearts and open arms. From 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM, we gather in the beauty of nature — surrounded by the forest, beside the calm waters of the lake — to honor the longest and brightest day of the year.
Solstice Yoga Fest is more than an event; it is a gentle invitation to reconnect with yourself, others, and the living world around you. Throughout the day, we will share positive, heart-centered practices including yoga, mindfulness, meditation, and forest bathing. You will find yourself breathing with the trees, resting by the water, moving gently with the wind, and feeling the healing presence of community.
We will share a lovingly prepared vegetarian lunch, with additional options available to honor all dietary needs. Every bite will be made with care, nourishment, and love. Local vendors will also join us, bringing handmade creations, wellness offerings, and gifts to share and inspire.
