Summer brings activating energy and invites us to nourishment and vitality. In this spirit, we invite you to come celebrate summer and mark the longest day of the year in with us.

We will co-create embodied, playful ceremony: flower crowns/garlands, body paint, watermelon, sparklers, a night swim, and other juicy offerings to enliven your spirit. Our intention is to cultivate life-force energy and creative expression.

Bring a few stems of your favorite (or foraged) flowers or greenery and a blanket/chair for sitting. Wear your bathing suit if you want to end the night with a plunge in the Sound and feel free to bring paddleboards/kayaks/floats.

We’ll gather at the main beach at Carkeek Park. Go to the main parking lot, follow the path to the metal bridge, and take the stairs down to the beach.

A pre-ritual potluck will begin at 6:30pm! Bring a dish, beverage, or something sweet to share.

All are welcome — feel free to bring partners/families/friends. Please RSVP to support up in preparing for this ritual.
