Summer Solstice: Purifying the Walk

This year’s Summer Solstice Celebration will be held at Heather Walize’s home. 

Contact: 859-608-0900 or email cosmicpathways33@gmail.com to RSVP and get address and directions.  

Details – This will be a mid-morning/early afternoon Ceremony and will focus on purifying your walk on the good Red Road. Come prepared to drum, dance and sing!  

Please RSVP so we know how many will be attending. I have a pretty good-sized backyard but having a number of participants will be helpful. Park along the street and if you can please carpool. I will have either a sign or balloons by the mailbox and parking helpers. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.  

Please remember that this is a ceremony and that you should walk in an appropriate manner. As Grandmother Jeremie taught us, small talk leads to big talk, so keep it quiet. We ask that you do not arrive before 10:30 am but please be there before 11:00 am. Remember that once we have set the fire you will not be allowed into the ceremonial circle. Women, please wear a skirt with shoulders covered. Men, please dress appropriately, no ripped pants, shorts, muscle T’s, etc. Wear sunscreen and a hat if you are sun sensitive. We hope for great weather, usually we have it at this time of year, but we can never be sure. Bring your own chair or a blanket if you would like to sit on the ground. Please, also bring your drums, rattles, bells or whatever joyful noise maker you have.   

We will be doing the traditional feasting after the Ceremony. Each participant is asked to donate something towards this, like sandwiches, salads and sides, chips and crackers, or desserts. We will have coolers with water and tables available as well as serving utensils, napkins, plates, etc. 

Ceremonial Herbs will be available for purchase before and after the ceremony. You can pay by cash/check, or you can use the Clover card swiping machine. PayPal is also available: http://paypal.me/heatherwalize33 

Gifting Gourd: There is always an expense for us to prepare for Ceremony. Any gift you give will be very greatly appreciated. Please make your check out to Cosmic Pathways, LLC. or Heather Walize. PayPal is also available: http://paypal.me/heatherwalize33  Thanks!
