What is Summer Solstice?
The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year — the peak of light and warmth before the days slowly begin to shorten. Across cultures and throughout history, it's been a time to gather, celebrate abundance, and set intentions for the season ahead.
It's a natural invitation to slow down, look at what's growing in your life, and honour where you are right now.
What to expect
Welcome & seasonal tea
Arrive, settle in, and sip a specially curated solstice herbal drink as you get comfortable and meet the other women in the room.
A little on the solstice
A short, grounding reflection on what the solstice means and one simple thing to carry with you into the season.
Guided meditation
A gentle guided meditation to help you arrive fully — leaving the day behind and dropping into your body.
Extended sound bath
The heart of the evening. Lie back and let the bowls do the work. A deeply restorative experience that leaves most people feeling like they've had the best nap of their life.
What to bring
Bring you, just as you are.
The following are recommended for your best experience:
Wear comfy clothes, you will be lying down for the Sound Bath
A yoga mat, blanket, pillow, anything that will make lying on the floor comfortable for you (we do not have items available at the Apothecary)
Journal or notepad/paper and a pen so you can capture the anything that comes up for you during the Sound Bath
We do not have yoga mats, blankets etc available to borrow at the store.

Your Questions, Answered
-
A sound bath is a deeply relaxing, meditative experience where you are bathed in the resonant tones of instruments such as crystal singing bowls, gongs, or chimes. You simply lie or sit comfortably and let the sound wash over you. No experience or musical ability is needed — many people find it one of the most grounding and restorative things they've ever tried.
-
Not even a little. We follow the Wheel of the Year, a seasonal cycle that honours the rhythm of nature. You don't need to hold any particular belief; an open heart and a willingness to be present is more than enough.
-
This Women’s Circle is designed to join individual Circles, rather than having to commit to an entire series.
You are of course welcome to come to each one, select ones or simply a one off attendance.
-
Absolutely no experience is needed, and first-timers are genuinely some of our favourite people to welcome. We'll guide you through everything on the day. The circle is a safe, supportive space — there's nothing to get right or wrong. If you're wondering what to bring or how the evening flows, take a look at the section below.
