Journal Practice - Prompts for Summer Solstice Reflection

Summer Solstice marks the longest day and the shortest night of the year and is also called Midsummers Day.  It usually falls on 21st June.

Solstice comes from the Latin Sol meaning sun, and   Sistere meaning to stand still.  It marks the moment the sun ‘stands still’, pauses for a moment at its peak, before turning back to shortening the days again.

In this blog post I explore some of the history of Summer Solstice celebrations.   I reflect on the qualities of Summer and how we can embrace the light and energy of Summer and set some intentions for the coming months.

There’s a beautiful poem by Judith Hanson Lasater and some journal prompts for you including a pdf download so that you can take a pause and mark this mid-way point in the year..
