Sisters of the Moon recommends:
 
Circle of Aradia's Summer Solstice Ritual
(Cerridwen will be facilitating -- hope to see you there!)
 
Saturday, June 21
7 pm (doors open 6:30, lock at 7)
 
In the Dianic tradition, on Summer Solstice we celebrate Goddess as Mother/Maker/Lover and honor the diverse ways we create in our lives. We also celebrate the fiery power of the Summer Sun, and honor our own passion and will expressed through the power of Fire. As the Earth basks in the heat of the Midsummer Sun, we will work the power of fire in its many aspects and applications through movement, trance and ritual enactment. Come honor and work with Summer Fire as the power of the will, as a healing power, as the power of passion. Because of the possible intensity during this ritual, younger children's participation will be limited to daughters 11 and older.
This is a participatory ritual for serious seekers only. Once the circle is cast we cannot admit latecomers, so please arrive on time. Doors open at 6:30pm and will be locked at 7 pm.  There is ample parking at the site but it does fill up.  Please carpool if possible.

Place: Topanga Canyon Community House (Indoors), 1449 North Topanga Canyon Blvd., in Topanga Canyon. Please carpool if possible.
 
Time: 7 pm. Once the circle is cast we cannot admit latecomers, so please arrive on time. Doors open at 6:30pm and will be locked at 7 pm.
