Summer solstice day retreat & spa day
saturday, june 21, 11am-6pm
Vernonia, OR
Join priestess, witch, and healing artist Sarah Rayne for a magical day retreat & spa day on the beautiful lands of Liminalia in Vernonia, Oregon, to honor the abundant energy and blessings of the Summer Solstice portal. Saturday, June 21st, 11am-6pm, 1 hour Northwest of Portland.
We will merrily meet to honor the beginning of Summer, and all of the abundant joy & blooming that comes along with it. Summer Solstice falls on June 20th, is the longest day of the year, and a highly celebrated day on the Pagan wheel of the year. During Summer Solstice time we honor the sun & the light we all carry, and we offer gratitude for all that is abundantly blooming and coming to fruition in the earth, and well as what is coming to fruition within our own hearts and spirits. We gather in community for song & dance & merriment to celebrate our aliveness and the fullness of our beings & the earth.
We also welcome in the growing dark, and honor the dance of balance in life and all things as the wheel turns. Summer Solstice also ushers in watery Cancer Season - a time to tend to our own inner tender places, connect with our own heart’s truth & needs, and allow ourselves to receive deep & nurturing love and care from ourselves and others.
At this day retreat, you’ll receive deep healing & care to tend to your inner emotions & energy, many opportunities to cleanse, reset, and connect with the water element, as well as experience co-creating vibrant, inspirational, celebration magic with all of the fire, boldness, and big, beautiful dreams that our community has to offer as we lift up our voices and spirits, together.

-4 hours of intentionally cultivated group healing, movement, ceremony & creative expression activities
-A custom herbal & floral smoke wand to take home
