Ceremony Details
Tuesday, July 21, 2022 | 6:00 -7:30 AM PST
The Summer Solstice marks the seasonal shift from Spring (awakening) to Summer (action).
As we prepare to enter the summer season, a time of high action, high attention, movement and heat, we are reminded of our true energy source— the light, the force of all creation.
Join Co-founder Natalie Orozco in a Sacred Fire Prayer Circle to greet the sun on the longest and brightest day of the year. This sacred fire ceremony will empower you to celebrate and connect with the energy of the light, illuminating your connection to yourself, your gifts, and to offer your biggest prayers to life. Prayer + Fire energy feeds us and the sacred hoop of all life.
What People Are Saying About BDC Virtual Ceremonies
“ I loved the whole experience of spending time moving really slowly, intentionally, staying off my phone, and dreaming. I loved the mindful eating, and the prayer that we were offered in the prep materials, and have continued that practice. I loved the teachings from the collective, the music, the breaks, the opportunity to draw.”
— Gabriella, NY
“The ceremony taught me the importance of taking time out to honor a new season. I like that it [allowed] us to harness feminine energy and affirm each other. There was no judgment and people could be themselves.”
— Shanetta, MD
“I'm a songwriter and I had LOTS of ideas for songs during that event. Overall it was stimulating emotionally, creatively, and in terms of connection to Earth and the season.”
— Louise, CA
“It was worth every minute and penny. I felt like this ceremony really held me in my spiritual work, inspired me, and nourished more seeds that will germinate and grow in my life. I was pleasantly surprised how well it worked in an online format. I knew it was going to be good, but it was great! I felt an immediate connection with the leaders, in their authenticity. It was also such a relief to have a woman of color leading too (I’m a WOC and it’s such a rare experience to feel that safe).”
— Sable, WA
