Summer is here! Break out the sunscreen, dust off your flip flops, and get ready for longer days, balmy nights, and endless possibilities. It’s finally here – the summer solstice, the day marking the astronomical start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere!

This special day, usually around June 20th or 21st, brings the longest daylight hours of the year. As the Earth’s tilt reaches its maximum angle towards the sun, the sun appears higher in the sky, bathing us in its warmth for an extended period. While meteorologists define summer starting on June 1st, the solstice holds a special significance, marking a turning point in the Earth’s annual cycle.

The summer solstice has been celebrated for millennia by cultures around the world. Ancient civilizations like Stonehenge’s builders in England aligned their monuments with the solstice sun, marking the passage of time and the importance of the sun’s life-giving power.

Today, the summer solstice continues to be a time for celebration and reflection. Here are some ways you can embrace this special day:

• Connect with Nature: Step outside and soak up the extended sunlight. Have a picnic in the park, go for a hike, or simply relax in your backyard and enjoy the warm evening.
• Gather with Loved Ones: Host a bonfire under the (hopefully) clear night sky. Share stories, sing songs, and enjoy the company of friends and family.
• Embrace New Beginnings: The summer solstice is a symbolic time of growth and abundance. Use this energy to set intentions for the summer months ahead. What do you want to achieve? Where do you want your personal growth to lead?
• Light the Way: In some traditions, bonfires and fireworks are lit to celebrate the sun’s light. You can incorporate fire into your solstice celebration by lighting candles or creating a small, safe bonfire.
• Explore Traditions: Research how different cultures have celebrated the summer solstice throughout history. You might be inspired to incorporate some of these traditions into your own celebration.

The summer solstice is a reminder of the sun’s power and the beauty of our planet’s natural cycles. It’s a day to slow down, appreciate the present moment, and get excited for the adventures that summer brings. So, step outside, soak up the sunshine, and celebrate the longest day of the year!
