Siin<p>It's been a year since I've held space for group ritual, and I feel called to make our upcoming Solstice rite communal once again. So, preparations underway, invitations sent. This year brings significant shifts and considerations, and so we will practice inwardness: extended meditations, intentional movement, allowing the wind and stars to speak to us. After, we may sit and share stories, or not, depending on how community is feeling. </p><p>I hope it opens internal space to host again more regularly come fall. Since late spring I have had absolutely no bandwidth to host tattoo ritual or really even social events, and a surprise interpersonal issue with someone who was a very active and wonderful community member for the past year shut us down even further. In a way, it's a wonderful lesson. We appreciate all such lessons, and the time to go inward and re-evaluate the ways in which we show up for and hold space for others, and expect some space and showing up in return. </p><p>What does the Summer Solstice bring for you this year, dear friends?</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Paganism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Paganism</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/WheelOfTheYear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WheelOfTheYear</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/SummerSolstice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SummerSolstice</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Solstice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Solstice</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Ritual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ritual</span></a></p>
