The Work
Three days at the height of summer. We gather when yang energy reaches its fullness, when light is longest and the life force has climbed the entire length of the spine, like sap rising through a tree in full leaf.
This is work of expression and balance. The yang has filled each vertebrae. We practice voicing what wants to be spoken, extending outward in communion with the forest, while learning to temper that outward movement with necessary retreat.
This gathering happens once. The forest at solstice, the particular convergence of these practices and practitioners, the specific humans who come together for this work. If you feel the pull to be witnessed in your fullness, to practice both extension and restraint, to work with what is alive in you at this threshold, come.
