This year we decided to hold a family Solstice Celebration out in the yard! Of course Meadow Rain was very into setting up the backyard table and decorations. We tried to eat mostly round food in reference to the sun. Tomatoes and cucumbers were sliced round along with round veggi burgers (no buns) and potatoes and a green salad with round carrots…
Then we moved onto Smores with vegan marshmallows and gluten free graham crackers….
So Fun!
Then we wrote some things we were hoping to see happen or to accomplish over the next calender year. We wrote them on paper stars and held the idea in our hearts and then put the papers into the fire to release the thoughts up into the sky.
Sage was also added into the fire with our thoughts and hopes…
And as the sun was setting on the longest day, the children decided they wanted to jump over the fire…
Terrifying, even if it was just embers…. But they both made it!
Here’s to a peaceful and fruitful year!
