The Summer Solstice

2. As the weather in the northern hemisphere begins to warm up, we are gradually
approaching the official start of summer: the summer solstice. This year, it falls on
Saturday, June 20.
During the solstice, the northern hemisphere experiences the longest day of the
year. Just as the winter solstice presents a time ideal for self-reflection, the
summer solstice provides an opportunity for celebration and self-recognition.

3. Around the world and throughout history, many cultures have and continue
to celebrate the solstice in different ways. Ancient Egyptians recognized the
solstice as the start of a new year because, shortly after its arrival, the Nile
would flood, resulting in more fertile ground for agriculture.
Global Celebrations

4. In ancient Greece, similar attitudes were held during the
festival of Kronia which celebrated the god of agriculture
as they prayed for prosperity and abundance.

5. In Europe, people still gather at Stonehenge at dawn to celebrate the
arrival of the solstice.
Another ongoing tradition involves the lighting of bonfires to honor
the sun.
Native Americans, namely the Sioux, continue to celebrate the
solstice with traditional dances and other rituals.

6. You don’t need to travel across the world or make significant plans to celebrate
the summer solstice, but you can take inspiration from other cultures.
Waking up at or before dawn may help you get in the spirit, welcoming in the
day at its very start.
How to Celebrate

7. If the weather is
nice, spend time in
the sun as the day
progresses; after
all, the solstice is
the mark that
winter has finally
receded, and it is a
time of life and joy.

8. You may choose to draw on ancient traditions and start a garden on
the solstice, strengthening your connection to the sun and the earth
at once.

9. Sitting around a fire
with family or
friends, when
possible, is also a
great way to
embrace the warmth
of the season, the
celebratory spirit,
and the things that
bring you joy.

10. At the heart of summer solstice celebrations is hope and love; for many, summer
presents a time of relaxation, rest, and simple pleasure, and the solstice is the
perfect time to acknowledge what it is you love and cherish about your life.
However you choose to celebrate the solstice, embrace what is important to you
and what you love about yourself in honor of the arrival of summer.
