You are warmly invited to join us for our annual celebration of Summer Solstice in Sapphire Canyon

 

It's a Celebration of Community in a Co-created Village This gathering is an opportunity to explore the deep expression of our hearts and souls in a wilderness village that we create together. The community welcomes individuals, couples, and families with children of any age. 

 

It's About Being In Beauty of Nature Come enjoy connecting with nature, celebrating the high sun, the dark starry nights, and camping in a beautiful wilderness valley.

 

It's About Singing, Dancing and Peaceful Silence This is a time to sing, make music, dance and share our exuberance and unbridled joy with family and friends. It’s also a time for silence and peaceful solitude.

 

It’s About Creating Ceremony and Spontaneous Ritual Together
Experience the possibilities of ritual space, personal and collective ceremony and exploring the great mysteries in creative ways.

 

It’s about Lineage Honoring where we’ve come from and exploring where we are going.
