Summer Solstice Gathering

☀︎ Summer Solstice at Aphelion Farm ☀︎

June 20th • 6–10 PM • Tumalo, Oregon

At the height of the sun’s great arc, when the earth is lush, the light lingers long into evening, and the world hums with midsummer vitality, we gather to honor the Summer Solstice.

Join us for a beautiful evening of connection, ritual, and celebration at Aphelion Farm, where we will step away from the ordinary and into the sacred rhythm of the season. Together we’ll welcome the abundance and radiance of this turning point on the Wheel through movement, creativity, nourishment, and fireside community beneath the open sky.

Designed to nourish both spirit and body, this gathering is an invitation to slow down, savor the season, and reconnect with yourself, the earth, and one another.

✧ An Evening of Midsummer Magic ✧

As golden light stretches across the fields, we’ll move gently through a thoughtfully curated evening that includes:

✧ Solstice Yoga
A grounding and heart-opening practice to honor the energy of the sun and bring body, breath, and spirit into harmony.

✧ Folk Crafting
Hands-on seasonal creativity inspired by traditional midsummer customs and the beauty of the natural world.

✧ Summer Feast
A shared seasonal meal celebrating the abundance of the land and the joy of gathering together. The meal is always gluten-free with dairy-free options too.

✧ Bonfire Circle
As dusk settles, we’ll gather around the fire for reflection, connection, and quiet solstice ritual.

✧ Solstice Yoga with Katie ✧

At the heart of our gathering will be a special solstice yoga offering led by Katie Funk.

A seeker of truth and lover of nature, Katie’s work is devoted to helping others return to harmony with themselves. Drawing from yoga, Tarot, gardening, and her deeply intuitive perspective, she invites people to tell a more empowering story of their journey, to fall in love with the miracle of the human body, and to find wonder in both the extraordinary and beautifully ordinary moments of life.

This Solstice, Katie will guide an asana practice that celebrates the zenith of the sun by balancing its vibrant energy with gentle, intentional movement. Through a weaving of feminine grace and masculine power, we will cultivate peace within the heart and awaken creative energy, expanding our capacity for joy, presence, and embodiment.

All levels are warmly welcome.

☀︎ The Spirit of the Summer Solstice ☀︎

For centuries, cultures across the world have honored the Summer Solstice as a sacred threshold, a moment to celebrate light, vitality, abundance, and the fullness of life.

It is a time to pause in gratitude for what is blooming, to bask in the warmth of all that has come to fruition, and to remember that we, too, are part of the great turning of the seasons.

As the sun reaches its peak, we gather to honor both the brilliance around us and the light we each carry within.
