🌞✨ WOW. THANK YOU. ✨🌞
Our inaugural Summer Solstice Festival & Fire Ceremony was everything we hoped it could be... and more.
Nearly 80 adults and children gathered to celebrate the longest day of the year through live music, ceremony, laughter, play, creativity, delicious food, and genuine connection. Looking around and seeing people of all ages laughing, creating, and celebrating together was incredibly meaningful. This is the kind of community we're working to create.
Because of your generosity, we also surpassed our Founding Supporters Campaign goal! 🎉
Thank you to everyone who donated, bid in the silent auction, volunteered, attended, and helped bring this vision to life.
Thank you to everyone who has shared our posts, invited friends, forwarded our newsletters, and helped spread the word. Every conversation, every share, and every invitation helps this community continue to grow.
Together, we're weaving a community where people can gather, belong, heal, celebrate, and flourish. Thank you for being part of this journey.
📸Thank you to everyone who shared your pictures, and a special thank you to Raven MacArthur for generously donating your professional photography.
