 “Clare’s wisdom, love and generosity in sharing of herself created an incredible space for safe and profound explorations. A Beautiful Transformation Experience”. Sarah  2014 course participant

Our summer solstice retreat 2015 will guide you through meditation, inquiry, play, ceremony, creativity, healing, energetic work, movement and soulful community to fully immerse yourself in your radiance.  We welcome you to join with us, to be inspired by engaging with others who have the same drive and urgency to Be Love as you do.

From your cells through to your soulful spirit this retreat is the inner path of alchemy and transformation that brings together your essence, purpose and gifts, with your service.

You become radiant when you allow your deepest love to shine through the essence of who you are. Then you begin to radiate with a warmth and light that has the capacity to light up life around you.

Why Summer Solstice?

The solar radiance is the hearts capacity to shine in a way that lights up everyone and everything.  Its the inner intentionality to be the positive change in the world through revealing the light that you are.

Heart Lake, Mt Shasta In the same way that the luna cycles effect our watery nature each month so also does the yearly solar cycle effect us. At this time of year we recognise the rising of the creativity, life giving aspect of Fire.  We are also recognising the peak of the solar cycle.

In traditional cultures the solar is the ‘first kin’, our first relation (kin coming from the Myan word for sun).  When we offer ceremony at summer solstice we are amplifying, celebrating and honouring the manifestations and creations of light, grace and beauty in our lives.  We are also opening to receive the in-pouring of this light and grace for our coming creations.

  • Mount Shasta experience was life changing. I met wonderful, most amazing people and shared a heavenly love. The visit to the hot bath was quite exhilarating. Living by the lake in the log cabins was the best part of the trip, where you could go for a dip in the lake every morning and watch the sun rise. Totally magical experience, highly recommended.
