This year the summer solstice lands on a Saturday, which is too good an opportunity to miss out on making a weekend of it! Let's celebrate the joys and abundance that summer brings, and set ourselves up for a beautiful the next half of the year.

In Eastern Slade Farm's secluded space near Oxwich - camp out, come as a non-resident, or stay in the bunkhouse - with shared & private room options. This is a back-to-basics, nature-filled weekend, where you can join in as much or as little as you like, and the main aim is to simply have a wonderful wild time!

A guide of what to expect...

Friday Evening

Arrive from 4pm (welcome earlier if camping)

5.30pm We begin with a welcome circle & fire ceremony, followed by dinner and kirtan/medicine songs, wrapping up early enough to get a decent night's sleep

Saturday

Solstice sunrise hike! Setting off at 4am, we walk out to the very best sunrise spot, watch her rise and dip in the sea - for those who want to brave it! We head to Oxwich beach for a nourishing and revitalising yoga practice, and enjoy breakfast there too if conditions allow. After our adventurous morning there is plenty of time to rest - read a book, doze in the sun, or head out for a walk. Lunch will be provided, and we will come together for a restorative breath work and meditation session. There's the option to walk down to nearby Slade beach (a 5 minute walk away) for another sea dip afterwards. The evening will bring more singing around a fire, and delicious grub!

Sunday

After a hearty breakfast we'll head down to Slade for a beach yoga session, with reflective and visionary journaling. There will be space to share for those who wish, and of course some of us may be tempted to get in the sea once more! We'll enjoy lunch together, pack away our things and wrap up our magical weekend with a closing circle, ending 2pm
