Let's gather for a Solstice ritual at our most-circled spot - Ohlone Park in North Berkeley (across from North Berk BART)!
We'll ground into the season, honor the Earth, and do some collective divination and magic.
Kids circle will have a special part in the ritual. Bring faery wings, or we'll have some extras!

Summer Solstice 2021
Please read this whole invite for important info
San Francisco Reclaiming is delighted, excited, and a little nervous about offering our first in-person ritual since Brigid 2020. “Reopening” is wonderful, and also bittersweet, and seeing beloved community is both lovely and quite challenging.
Consent is key: Ask before hugging or touching, even if you see someone you used to hug at every ritual. Under new California and San Francisco guidelines, we are not observing 6 feet distancing, so please take care of your needs around this if you want more physical space.
Wear a mask if you wish, and please respect those who do so by not asking them for a reason.
If you feel sick, stay home.
