Leading this celebration are two inspirational weavers of art and magic.
Iris Sullivan Daire of Dreambird Studios in Astoria
Adria Badagnani of Art & Channel in Manzanita.
Iris begins the day by leading a Solstice natural dye class using the stored sunlight of dried summer flowers to infuse bright golden rays onto cotton cloth.
If you have never tried your hand at turning garden flowers to fabric pigment you will be delighted to learn the magic of this process! These golden dyed cloths can then be stitched into gift bags, altar cloths or bandanas to keep or give as gifts.
Following your natural dye class you are invited to bask in the luxurious warmth of our wood fired sauna. Perfect medicine for cold winter days- our riverfront sauna experience will also include a kelp mineral face mask and cold plunge (optional) to replenish dry winter skin and stimulate your immune and lymphatic system.
End your day of celebration with a Winter Solstice ritual led by Adria.
In circle we will first honor the darkness and what lies in the unknown before welcoming the light back with candle magic. With a poetic invocation of the elements, our sacred circle will open to create intentions, receive the wisdom of the darkness, and bring light into the New Year.
Sweet elemental surprises & gifts await each participant in this circle!
Our farm blended teas and snacks will be available for you to enjoy throughout the day!
