Come celebrate Summer Solstice with Us. Our theme: Come celebrate Summer Solstice with Us. Our theme: Standing in Your Light. Sunday, June 21, 2026 1-4 pm. Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year — a seasonal invitation to honour growth, celebrate abundance, recognize personal strengths, and reflect on what is ready to flourish or transform. Through experiential learning with horses, participants will explore: personal strengths and inner light - authentic leadership and presence - balance between action and restoration - gratitude, release, and seasonal intention setting - and connection to nature, self, and community. Summer Solstice invites us to notice what is illuminated in our lives. We will explore what light, growth, and alignment mean through our interaction with our beautiful herd. $60 per person - max 8 participants.
