On June 20, Summer Solstice, or the longest day of the year, will occur in the Northern Hemisphere. Since Winter Solstice, the days have been drawing longer each day, and we've been enjoying the “light” half of the year. Summer Solstice marks the point when the days begin drawing shorter and it ushers us into the “dark” half of the year between now until December.
Summer Solstice takes place when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky, when the Sun has reached its zenith — the height of its light — its absolute peak! This peak represents a summit moment in Nature. But summits are not meant for dwelling. They're meant for brief views. Midsummer's views are full of creation, manifestation, and abundance — even overabundance. What was first dreamed up six months ago in the velvety dark of Winter Solstice is now manifested!
But this proliferation of abundance, creation, and manifestation is not meant to last forever — it's not sustainable long-term — that's why Nature moves in cycles. So we use this season as an opportunity to look from the top of the summit and to survey our domain (all the creation, manifesting, and abundance) and to take stock.
Summer Solstice starts the season of the year my ancestors called Lithia. Everything and everyone in Nature is beginning to look ahead to harvest. Everything in Nature is making millions of micro decisions every day about what plants and animals will make it and which ones will be recycled for a better chance next year.
Traditionally, humans have been invited to follow Nature's lead and follow suit by taking an inventory of our lives. Lithia invites us to take a look at how things are going — to really look. What's going well? What's not going so well? What relationships and projects are worth investing in to get them across the finish line? Which ones have already died and need to be buried instead of dragged across the finish line? Lithia is the season for making decisions so we can be discerning about how to spend our energy going forward. It's time now to decide what to say “hell yes” to and what to say “hell no” to!
The archetypes of the divine feminine and divine masculine associated with this season of Lithia are: the Huntress and the Warrior. These parts of us are younger parts, but they aren't quite as young as the Girl Child and Boy Child we embodied at Winter Solstice.
These parts are closer to the rebellious teenagers within us. Except they aren't rebels without a cause. Rather, they're rebels with a very clear cause. They know exactly who they are, what they're about, and they don't waste energy or arrows on what they aren't. They don’t go looking for a fight or for drama, but when it comes their way, they're always ready to defend themselves and their truth. They're brave, resilient, sharply focused, and ready to rise and face whatever challenges come their way.
Lithia invites us to stand at the peak and make some choices. What gets your sacred “Yes” and what deserves a holy “No”?
In the Lithia course in Soul Revolution, you're invited to do the inner work in a group container rather than trying to do it alone.
In this course, starting June 26, I'll engage your mind by teaching you about the inner Huntress and inner Warrior archetypes within you. I'll open your heart by guiding you in a meditation that allows you to channel a message from your own inner Huntress and Warrior. And I'll invite your body to embody your inner Huntress or Warrior by setting intentions for the season. These intentions will become your initiation — your challenge — for integrating this divine aspect of your soul into your life more fully.
You won't do this alone. You'll be able to share in a group with fellow travelers who are on the same journey. The course includes weekly live calls and a one on one integration session with me.
If you're looking for a way to connect to your own soul, to connect to your own understanding of divinity, to meditate in a way that actually produces a direct experience of spirit, to sync to the rhythm of Nature, to harmonize the masculine and feminine energies within you, and to develop a trust in your own intuition, then you belong in this course!

Whether you join us on this journey or not, I hope you'll embrace the summit view this summer, take a good look around, and let your inner Huntress & Warrior guide your way forward — not from fear, but from focus.
Happy Summer Solstice!
