Summer Solstice Celebration June 21, 2026 | 5:06 - 6:06 am PRESTON BEACH, Marblehead, MA

😎 Free & open to all to attend 😎

Please join us as we gather in community and welcome the return of Summer.

Today marks the day when we have the most daylight, as the sun travels it’s longest path through the sky. Dawn happens early today, so let us greet the day together as a beautiful way to celebrate SUMMER. REJOICE!!

Lisa Kawski & Kampa Vashi Deva will be leading our ceremony this summer day as Seasonal Ceremonial Leaders. They are grateful for their predecessor, Don Orne, who began and carried forward these celebrations for many years. The format will be similar, but they will be sharing their talents, loves and skills within the community.

What to expect:
+ Opening: blowing of the conch shell as the sun rises on the horizon
(all are welcome to bring metal instruments such as Tibetan bowls & tingshas (chimes) to “wake up” with the sun as well)
+ Chanting song about the Sun:
We Are One (Under The Sun) by Wade Imre Morissette
Lyrics: We Are One Under The Sun ~ We Are One Under The Moon
+ Opening remarks (gratitude) and Intentions
+ Calling in the Seven Directions
+ Gong Sound Bath
+ Communal Sharing (bring a poem, song or something you would like to share with the group ~ keeping to a few minutes)
We are praying for beautiful weather on this morning ~ clear skies & warm temperatures, but come prepared for what may be.

May all who enter the circle be inspired by love, art, science and the mystery of the Universe (Khrena)

(there is limited on street parking as well as a lot across the street from the park)
