THE SOLSTICE The sun is at its peak. And so are you.
Yes, the actual solstice is on the 21st. We’re borrowing the energy early. Consider June 12th our offering - on the shortest night, we play the longest.
The ancients celebrated the solstice as a time of fire, fertility, and full-blooded aliveness. A night when the veil between the ordinary and the magical gets thin. When flowers are worn in hair, bodies circle bonfires, and desires that have been quietly ripening finally get to bloom. The ancients knew: this is not a night to be sensible.
We're taking that seriously.
Inspired by the longest light and the warmest dark, we invite you to explore what has been quietly sun-ripening in you - and what's finally ready to be tasted. This is our midsummer ritual. We are the bonfire. We light up together and call the summer in. Some will arrive as gentle warmth - a soft glance, a slow touch, a flower tucked behind an ear. Some will arrive as pure heat - bold, bright, unapologetic. The bonfire doesn't choose between the spark and the blaze. It holds them all.
So bring your full self. Tend to others. Let yourself be tended to. The vibe, the warmth, the magic - it doesn't come from nowhere. It comes from us, choosing to show up for each other and for the collective flame we build in that room.
The evening opens with a ceremony. A chance to step out of the everyday and into the ritual. To feel the warmth already present in the room, to meet the eyes around you, and to tend the first sparks - in yourself and in each other. This is where the fire begins.
From there, the night unfolds - for dance, for play, for encounters, and the kind of sun-drunk exploration that happens when you stop planning and start blooming.
The main playspace opens as the fire grows - a space for full embodied expression, creative experimentation, and shared pleasure. Consent is the ground everything grows from. Curiosity is the heat that drives it.
Let the DJ spin you into something feral and free on the dance floor. Wear flowers. Wear fur. Wear leather. Wear less. Wear whatever makes you feel like the main character in the juiciest myth ever told.
Safer Space Angels move through the night to tend the flame. Safety is something we build together - reach out if something feels off.
When you need to land: rest in the cuddle zone, toast the sun at the non-alcoholic bar, or linger in the lounge and let the night slowly do its thing.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For all genders, bodies, and levels of experience – especially for those who understand that warmth doesn’t magically appear, it’s built together.
This is for you if:
- You want to show up fully - not just watch the magic happen, but help create it
- You know that presence can be hotter than performance
- You’re willing to bring awareness, warmth, and responsibility into the room
- You can hold your own desire while respecting someone else’s boundaries
- You’re curious about what might awaken when you soften
- Come solo, with a partner/s, or with friends.
WHAT TO BRING
- A towel or sarong to put under you for play (mandatory)
- Any toys or props you’d like to use
- Care for the collective experience
- Your boundaries, your curiosity, and your willingness to be affected
WHAT TO WEAR
Sun-ripe and untamed. Think midsummer, and make it mythical. Flowers, flowing fabrics, fur, leather, harnesses, lace. Dress like you came to be seen.
No streetwear or work clothes (i.e. jeans, ordinary t-shirts, regular workout clothes, everyday cotton underwear etc). No shoes indoors.

EVENING PROGRAM
19:30–20:15 Arrive, land, and change if needed

20:30–21:30 Opening ceremony by Gabrielle
21:30–00:45 Free play, dance, cuddling, and meetings in the Connection Corner

*The closing circle is sacred to us - it's where we land together after the journey. We always close as a group, which means the night may sometimes wrap up a little earlier than the schedule suggests. Not because the fire burned out - but because it roared just right.
