Joshua Tree Summer Solstice Retreat

Radiant Sun

For centuries, myriads of cultures, and civilizations across the world have celebrated the glorious sun. The sun is a source of physical and spiritual wellness as well as emotional nourishment and inspiration for every living earthly creature. It is as critical to our survival as air and water. Join us for Radiant Sun, a celebration of this marvelous resource during the most sacred of the summers season, Summer Solstice.

We will celebrate the sun as the Ancient Ones did, with mantra, dance, food and movement. Learn how to keep the Radiant Light glowing within you all year.
*This is the solstice, the still point of the sun, its cusp and midnight, the year’s threshold and unlocking, where the past lets go of and becomes the future; the place of caught breath.
Chef Zara Kand of Epicurean Fling has created a beautiful vegetarian menu made to activate the manipura chakra for the Radiant Sun Retreat.

 

Pricing includes meals, individual lodging and all activities. A walk-on registration option is also available for local participants who do not require lodging.
