Summer of Pleasure
explore the sensuality of summer on this solstice retreat
Ahhh… the Summer Solstice, the height of the sun and light and bliss! You are being invited to tap into your bodily senses to take in more pleasures this summer.
Now some of you might be thinking, “but Meghan with so many terrible things happening in the world how could I possibly connect to my pleasure?”. I hear you! I am with you! We will explore this together, for our well-being depends on it.
When you can follow your pleasure and connect with your bodily senses, you are resourcing yourself to be more resilient. You are re-calibrating your body towards safety and therefore away from stress + anxiety. And from that place you can be a light of hope to the world around you.
This Summer Solstice retreat is a sacred container where you will be guided to allow all the energy of summer to flow through you. Leaving the retreat feeling energized, renewed, and ready to share your light out into the world!
During this Solstice Retreat, you will tap into the magic of...
the energy of the tarot to awaken your pleasure
meditation to explore your bodily senses
being in harmony with the cycles of body + earth
intuitive guidance through journal writing
community that values you for who you are

Meet Your Guide, Meghan (she/they)
Hey all! If you are new around here, you may not yet know that I’m a cyclical living guide weaving together cycle magic for the regeneration of body + earth + community. I’m here to create sacred space as we journey into remembrance and reclamation of our power through ritual, embodiment, meditation and tarot.
Summer has never been my favorite season. It has felt overbearing and just too much! This all began to change last year when I intentionally decided to follow my pleasure. Opening myself up to a deeper embodied experience through my senses, created more safety and resilience within.
But it did not come easily as there were many (and still are a few) layers of guilt to push through. In the culture I grew up in working hard, pushing yourself to the limits, and burning out are the status quo. So when I began to push against this notion and took time off, even in the height of my inner summer, a lot of those shadows were lurking underneath.
This retreat is a time for all of us to come together in a shared sacred container to push against these notions that we should feel guilty for seeking out pleasure and embodying sensuality. These are our birthrights as human beings. Just look at the orchid and tell me that we aren’t all created to experience pleasure!
Sending love,
Meghan
