"The word “solstice” comes from the Latin "solstitium," which means “the sun stood still.” It is a natural breaking point in the seasons, and in the Northern Hemisphere, it’s when the sun reaches its Northern apex in the sky. On the Solstice, the sun will pause for a period, before it reverses course, causing the days to get shorter again.
Throughout history, the solstice was a liminal time to connect with oral traditions, sharing folk tales, songs and ancestral stories, to help us make meaning of our life within the natural cycles of the seasons.
This is a beautiful time to celebrate friendship, and to pause, reflect, and take stock of who we’ve been until now and who we want to be moving forward."
Kristen Roderick, from "Celebrating Friendship with the Summer Solstice"
