Four Best Ways to Connect to the Summer Solstice

May 28, 2015 By Liza Leave a Comment

Summer Solstice Sunrise Walks2Dear Sunrise Walkers,

Have you ever stopped to contemplate sunlight on the Summer Solstice? What makes this light different? At this time of the year, the sun rises the earliest of the entire year. Maybe the light seems different because Summer Solstice is known as a time when the sun appears to “stand still”. So as we experience the longest days, the lingering light plays upon the earth differently than any other time of the year. In the Summer Solstice Sunrise walks, you will have a chance to meet this light of summer, the stillness of the full sun, and walk in community.

Where do you find stillness on a warm summer day?
How does the light of summer touch you?

Here are some suggestions on how to meet the sun at its fullest on the longest days of the year.

I hope these suggestions are useful as you walk through the Summer Solstice Sunrise Walks. Find out more about the Summer Solstice Sunrise Walks.
