SOLACE -Summer Solstice Retreat

SOLACE retreat at Solstice
Expand + Renew
There is a moment each year when the sun pauses at its peak. Everything is illuminated. The longest day holds the most light — and within that light, an invitation to be fully expressed.
SOLACE is space to step out of the pace of your life and into a pulse that is actually yours. To anchor into nature's way, your creative potential, and your body's knowing — in a supportive, gentle, nourishing, and connective environment.
In the safety of the feminine, we can honour our cycles of creation and destruction — wherever you are in yours is welcome here.
This is a balanced offering — Emergent kundalini yogic practice woven with generous periods of rest and receptivity. The rhythm of the weekend mirrors the rhythm the body already knows: expand, receive, integrate.
Held on the land at Xenia at Nex̱wlélex̱wm — nourishing food, sweet animals, and the quiet company of the natural world. An opportunity for quietude and reflection presents itself to those who are there to listen.
ACTIVATE
Morning sadhana, Kyra, mantra, and movement. Emergent Kundalini™ practice to open the channels and meet what is ready to rise. The sun is your ally here.
RECEIVE
Bolstered rest. Time in nature. Nourishing food prepared with intention. Space between sessions to let the body process, integrate, and settle into what it already knows.
EXPRESS
Breath weave, dyads, ecstatic dance. Practices that move what has opened from the inner world into the shared space — witnessed, held, and celebrated.

FRIDAY
JUNE 19 — ARRIVAL & OPENING
Settling in. Setting down. Stepping into.
3:00 PM
Arrival & Landing
Find your room, orient to the land. Breathe. You're here.
4:30 PM
Grazing & Connection
Embrace the lightness of being — the sun hanging low, the evening ahead of you. Lounge on the deck, congregate in the magical kitchen at Xenia. Seasonal fare and snacks, cold drinks, easy conversation. Meeting and re-meeting.
6:30 PM
Opening Labyrinth Ritual
As the sun begins its descent on the longest evening, we walk the labyrinth together — a symbolic practice of mindful walking with intention. The process of setting down what you carry so there is space to step into and expand. This is what solstice asks of us. We can rise to meet it.

Soup and salad in the lodge. Connect, wander, chill — oracle cards and tea to close the night.
