About the Event:
Join us for a special Summer Solstice Ceremony on the banks of the Thames at Cadogan Pier. As the longest day of the year approaches, we’ll gather to celebrate the turning of the seasons and the warmth of the sun. This is a wonderful opportunity to pause, reflect, and connect with the rhythms of nature in the heart of London.
Led by Erika, the ceremony will begin with a warm welcome and circle of introductions as we co-create the sacred space together. There will be a carefully curated day of creative and somatic rituals allowing us to connect to the light, beauty and abundance of summer.
Whether you’re new to Solstice traditions or have celebrated for years, everyone is welcome. No prior experience is necessary—just bring your curiosity and an open heart.
We’ll meet on a beautiful houseboat on the picturesque Cadogan Pier with a view of the iconic Albert Bridge, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the river. Please dress comfortably and warmly. You are welcome to bring a sacred object and some flowers to contribute to our communal altar and to make yourself a flower crown.
This gathering is designed to be peaceful and restorative, offering a chance to slow down and mark the season’s change in good company. After the ceremony, there will be time to mingle and enjoy the riverside setting together as we share some food and non-alcoholic beverages.
Spaces are limited, so please RSVP by emailing Erika to let us know you’re coming. We look forward to celebrating the solstice with you!
