Celebrate the Summer Solstice

The Summer Solstice happens officially (MST) at 10:24pm tonight (June 20th). Today is the longest day of the year (and shortest night of the year). Solstice can be translated to "stillness"--a time of transition and pause. With the high amount of energy that comes with the longest day of the year and the most light, it is also an invigorating day of celebration, and fun. 

Here are some ideas to celebrate the summer solstice:

• First and foremost, have some fun on the longest day of the year
• Have a campfire or BBQ to honor the energy and fire of today
• Eat some seasonal produce or have a picnic
• Spend some time with bees
• Make some solstice sun tea
• Plant some mid-season vegetables (try beets, kale, garlic, onions, or spinach)
• Do an energizing yoga practice
• Meditate on transition or stillness (solstice means "stillness")
• Review your reflections, goals, and accomplishments (look back at goals you set on the Winter Solstice or the Spring Equinox)
• Harness the energy of the solstice to set new intentions

Happy Summer Solstice!
