14TH ANNUAL RED THREAD SUMMER SOLSTICE CEREMONY & FOREST PRAYER SESSION
Thursday, June 19th
600 - 800 PM
$60+ GST
Step into the stillness of the forest. Breathe Deeply.
Come home to yourself.
​
On the longest day of the year, when the sun reaches its peak and the Earth is fully alive with light, we gather in reverence.
​
Forest Prayer is not a hike, a class, or a performance. It is a sacred pause. A ceremony held beneath the trees. A slow, sensual immersion into the arms of nature and the rhythm of your own breath.
​
Rooted in the practice of Shinrin-Yoku (forest bathing), this Solstice gathering is a chance to listen deeply — to the forest, to the Earth, and to the quiet voice within you that often goes unheard in the noise of everyday life.
​
Together, we will mark the Solstice as our ancestors once did: in ceremony, presence, and gratitude.

There is no rush here. Everything moves at the pace of the Earth.
You’ll be invited to slow your steps, awaken your senses, and experience the land as a living BEing, not something to move through, but something to be in relationship with.
​
The Summer Solstice marks a powerful threshold , the height of light, abundance, and growth. It is a time to celebrate your blooming, to offer gratitude for the path that has carried you here, and to begin listening for what is ripening within you for the season ahead.
​
In honouring the Solstice with ritual and presence, we attune ourselves to the great turning of the Wheel of the Year and the wisdom of nature’s cycles.

Testimonials
Let Others Inspire You.

Jamie's approach to teaching is refreshing. She doesn't tell you how to feel or what to think - she guides you to simply be curious about. I found her style to be a great fit for me and she helped me to 'be real' with myself. She creates a safe environment and makes her students feel comfortable right from day 1. I could not be more grateful.
Each Sunday I went home with a new out look on life and my life began to change. I've never felt so safe, so supported or so loved as I did each weekend at training. It was by far the best thing I have ever done.
