Qigong – Fire Ceremony – Breath Journey – Sauna & Cake
I invite you to join me for a wonderful afternoon of celebration of the Summer Solstice in the beauty of the Sunhouse the surrounding woodland.
As the earth and the sun align on their axis, the sun is at the highest point in the sky and we welcome the longest day. In Daoist theory, it is the fullest expression of yang energy. The most expansive fiery energy of summer, the tipping point before the hot fire of summer begins to soften. For me it feels a great time to pause and give thanks, thanks for our lives, thanks for the earth. Come and join me for an afternoon of nourishment, energy movement and breath journey to offer the breath as a deep prayer of gratitude for all that is.
This will be a special ceremonial breath session honouring mid summer. We will begin with a simple shamanic Qigong Form to open the directions connecting to the elements within our bodies (earth, water, fire, air). And we will finish with a fire ceremony where we can intentionally let go of whatever we no longer need.
This day is about celebration and connection. Connecting to ourselves, to our breath, our bodies and our hearts, connecting to each other to the energy of the group, connecting with our environment, to the forest, the plants, animals, birds, the summer sunshine.

The Celtic calendar/Wheel of the Year has eight festivals throughout the year with the solstices, equinoxes and cross-quarters. It is my intention to hold a ceremonial breath journey for each festival, offering you the opportunity to connect to and honour both the wider and your own personal seasonal shifts throughout the year. Connecting to the wheel of the year can be a helpful way of making meaning; noticing, anchoring and grounding through the cycles and seasons of our wider body of nature and our interconnectedness.
