  Summer officially arrives Monday June 21 at 04 28 am pdt 

As I write this invitation, it is finally feeling warm out. It actually got up to 25degreesC today and I could comfortably go out in a short sleeve top and capris

The Daffodils and Tulips are retiring, taking with them the feel of spring. They are being replaced by purple lilacs, white and pink dogwood blossoms, multicoloured rhododendrens and azeleas.  I just love the ;peachy-tangerine colour of the azeleas and  send the energy of gratitude to the people who planted them for our viewing pleasure
 The sweet smell of leaves entice me as I drive along beside the river, and today I caught a whiff of something delightful as I did a walking meditation in the labyrinth across the road from where I live I've noticed that I  go into even higher vibration when my sense of smell is stimulated by mother natures delectable gifts.

I am so  grateful for this feast for the senses.  Mother Nature is  reaching out to invite us to consciously connect with the earth at a time when it is crucial to appreciate and love all that we are stewards of
 
This summer Solstice I am offering an online ceremony.  You can be cool at home in your little summer pjs.
Or,  if you can be outside when on the phone thats great. If not have try to have a plant or other live symbol of mother nature like flowers, a stone, flower essence  or piece of wood    It can really be anything because Everything is All Energy.

When I suggest you do something tangible like connect with mother earth by touching the earth, or offering something to the guardians and energies of the 4 directions, use the plant or rock or your token item. 
As an alternative either imagine or intend it in detail ie the gift to honour mother nature could be the most beautiful flower arrangement you could imagine;Or maybe imagine finding a baby bird and without marking it with your scent fill it with love and strength returning it to its nest.  
Be unlimited in what you intend to offer her
 
In our personal annual cycle this is a time of allowing what we began at the spring equinox- our new projects and habits to grow We may wish to evaluate how they are doing and perhaps tweak them a bit. Just  as we wouldn't pull a plant or shrub by the roots to see how its growing, we  need to trust that we are exactly where we need to be with our endeavor and nurture it with loving energy.  
We will use the synergistic energy of the group to amp up (this is energy after all) the vibration of your desired outcomes and access clear inner guidance and direction.

I will be adding to the solstice articles on the StoneHaven Alchemy website  so check there to see what fun and symbolic activities you can do. You can learn more about preparation for the Solstice and how other cultures celebrate this auspicious day.   Check out the videos in that section as well

I'm looking forward to celebrating with you!
