Happy Solstice!

Summer Solstice is the apex of our orbit around the sun. Up until today, we have had increasing light due to the angle that we face the sun. At the moment of solstice, we swing around the sun and from now on, we will have less and less light in the day rather than more. The first day of summer is the perfect time to celebrate the sun and warmth. The longest day of the year is traditionally a time for bounty and appreciation. Find time to be in community, create music and art, share food and spend time outdoors.

The earth is very active now, birds are chirping, bugs are buzzing and flowers and fruit are in full bloom. You may feel inspired and the creativity is flowing. You may feel energized and inspired to exercise and spend time enjoying the beautiful weather. This is a great season for eating lots of raw fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of water and enjoying cooling and cleansing herbs such as mint and marshmallow.

What's in season: tomatoes, zucchini, peppers, berries, stone fruit and more!
