Festivals for the Summer Solstice have been celebrated around the world since ancient times. One of the most famous ones occurs at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, as huge crowds gather to witness the sun rise over the Heel Stone and ascend into the sky. This year, due to the Coronavirus, you cannot visit in person, but you can watch it virtually by connecting to its Facebook page here!
In India, thousands of people gather to practice yoga with the rising sun, humbly saluting its power and life-giving strength. They also practice yoga together for happiness, for love, for forgiveness, and for correcting mistakes from the past. You don’t have to travel to India this Summer Solstice – instead join Carla for the Friday Surprise! Summer Solstice Celebration! See details below.
May we all practice forgiveness to cultivate compassion for ourselves and others, and celebrate the awe and majesty of the rising sun!
Sending an abundance of light and love,
-Carla
