SUNSET SOLSTICE:
An evening mini-retreat to harness the energy of the Summer Solstice in Celebration & Community!
Wednesday, June 18th | 6pm - 10:30pm
(with overnight option)
June 20, 2025 is the ancient celebration of Litha, also known as Midsummer— or more commonly these days as the Summer Solstice. It’s often one of the busiest weekends, as the summer “officially” kicks off, so we’ve decided to gather our beautiful community a few evenings before to harness the magic together.
For those who align with the wheel of the year… Litha is a day of inner power and brightness, and we can all benefit from harnessing a little more light —
This pivotal day gifts us with the longest stretch of daylight in the Northern Hemisphere, a vibrant celebration of fire and the sun, our essential source of life. As we bask in the warmth and abundant energies, it’s a perfect time to connect with nature’s bounty through dancing on the land, creating bundles from the abundance of herbs, breathe in fresh air around the bonfire, and celebrate the potential of this full, energetic season.
We’ll circle up for a full evening together —

MORE ABOUT HENNA
Henna, also known as Mehndi, is a dye prepared from Lawsona Inermis, a hina or henna tree, which is found in tropical or subtropical climates. Its leaves are dried, crushed, and made into a paste as a natural plant based dye. Henna has long been used to adorn women's bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations. Bridal henna nights remain an important custom to celebrate the wedding and marriage in some cultures. For birthdays and weddings, tradition holds that henna brings good luck and happiness and is considered a blessing. Henna is considered a protective plant and can be applied to protect the body. Henna is a symbolic ritual as individuals achieve life milestones and celebrate these events. Henna is a 100% natural temporary body art.
Ingredients in Henna Paste:

- henna plant powder
- sugar
- lemon juice
- essential oils (Eucalyptus, Clove, Teatree, lavender)

Meet the Facilitators
Elyza is a multi-tasking, multi-passionate mama who loves gathering people together more than anything else in the world. In recent years, she gave birth to The Harmony Mountain House, her sweet Sun Shayan, and pretty much an entirely new self... so to say that she is initiated into the Great Mystery School that is motherhood is pretty accurate. And thanks to this, she is always nurturing & loving on all who come here, reminding them of their magic, and cultivating transformative spaces for all those who are ready for their own healing journey. But don't get it twisted, she gets the cosmic joke of it all & always finds a way to bring fun to the spiritual path. On paper, she’s an 500ERYT yoga instructor with a focus on Yin, Kundalini, Meditation, Sound & pretty much all things “woo.” Her style is spontaneous dance parties, deep convos around the campfire, and skinny dipping in the moonlight... if that's your kind of thing, too!
