Even if you can’t participate at the moment of the solstice, the sun spends a few days near the solstice point, so there’s plenty of time for you to join in other celebrations. See Suggestions for Preparing Solstice Celebrations to learn more.

Enjoy the Solstice in Agaya and Ubuntu!

Developing deeper awareness of ubuntu and agaya enhances our emotional resilience. Dr. Michelle Merrill, founder of the Novasutras Movement, discussed some of these ideas in an interview for an article about climate grief that was published last month.

It can be instructive and healing to include some acknowledgement of the land and the people who lived there as part of our gatherings. We can learn important things about appropriate ways to act with integrity in our local ecosystems from the indigenous peoples of the land. Who are the indigenous people where you live?
