A time to rekindle who we are when we are most present to our true nature.

Be curious about what thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and energies you are feeding or playing along with. Discern and release what no longer serves you. Discover what lights you up daily and follow the path of joy every step of the way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the earth and sun constantly give back to us, honoring summer solstice is an act of reciprocity and gratitude.

Welcome in the power of playfulness and joy on all levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Create an <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/creating-a-masterpiece-and-wiping-it-clean\/\">earth mandala<\/a>, or outdoor altar.

You can work with candlelight, or an outdoor fire if you have access to that. On one piece of paper journal what no longer serves you in your life. Express what has come to an end, or what you have outgrown. Burn it safely and visualize your body releasing the energy from the past. Now call forward what you are inviting in for the next six months until winter solstice. Honor the element of fire and wholeheartedly believe in your power to transform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/sarah-kelsen-foraging-connection-with-nature\/\">Spend time in nature<\/a>; garden, make herbal potions, forest bathe, dance barefoot on the earth, do an outdoor walking meditation. Any way you can receive the earth\u2019s abundance with pure consciousness. Observe the inner shifts you feel when you merge with the elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>\u00a0&#8212;<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-313319\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mara_Branscombe_Summer_Solstice_3-512x768.jpg\" alt=\"Mara_Branscombe_Summer_Solstice_3\" width=\"250\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mara_Branscombe_Summer_Solstice_3-512x768.jpg 512w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mara_Branscombe_Summer_Solstice_3-661x992.jpg 661w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mara_Branscombe_Summer_Solstice_3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mara_Branscombe_Summer_Solstice_3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mara_Branscombe_Summer_Solstice_3-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mara_Branscombe_Summer_Solstice_3-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Mara_Branscombe_Summer_Solstice_3-scaled.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\">\n<div class=\"layoutArea\">\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p class=\"p1\">Mara Branscombe<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>is a mother, writer, yogi, artist, teacher, mindfulness leader, ceremonialist and spiritual coach.
