Imagine,
for a moment, a dream... Time
and distance are irrelevant... You are aware that you’re living in the
moment yet your dream has transported you to a place not too far away.
The layer of daily life has been peeled away, revealing only the sights
and sounds of nature that speak to your soul. Torch-lit paths
guide you through a garden of magnificent splendor as the moon and the
stars of the heavens glisten in the indigo sky above. The
stillness of the evening is broken only by the sounds of children
delighting in the freshness of the living earth. The sound of a
distant drum marks your cadence while lilting melodies of a harp lighten
your step. Your senses are awakened, yet you are very much at
peace. Nature is hosting a party, and you are the invited guest.
Faeries and ribbon dancers, who make prancing a regular way of getting
about, rounded out the magical evening. A very special Butterfly
Release will christen the event as the setting sun turns the sky over to
the only full moon occurring in June. We concluded our dream with a
candlelight blessing and dancing in the moonlight. The
Solstice celebration is in no way a religious ceremony, nor is it a
fundraiser. In fact, no currency was exchanged on the night of
the festival. Good will and appreciation of nature, beauty and art
are the only requirements for those attending, with all funding provided
for by private donations. Those
wishing to contribute to a magical and memorable experience planned for
the families of ~Just

The
celebration would not be complete without offering something for
everyone. Children delighted in making their own fresh flower
leis, while woodland storytellers captured their imaginations as they sat
amongst the glen clutching magical light wands.
