Summer Solstice Food and Media Fast
You’re invited to participate in four days of community fasting in observance of the Summer Solstice — a celebration of light, vitality, and full expression, free for all to join.
—
June 20th, 2026, marks the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, when light reaches its peak and the Earth is in full bloom.
Since the beginning of time, cultures around the world have honored the Summer Solstice as a powerful threshold, a moment to step fully into life, to embody what has been growing, and to align with the energy of expansion, expression, and aliveness. It is a time to bring what has been forming within you out into the world.
In addition to well-documented health benefits — including improved brain function and focus, reduced inflammation, metabolic reset, enhanced immune response, and autophagy (the body’s natural process of cellular repair) — fasting creates space to interrupt unconscious habits, sharpen awareness, deepen connection to what truly matters, and enter a new season with clarity and intention.
We also fast from media consumption to further quiet the mind, recalibrate the nervous system, and strengthen our capacity to be fully present in a season that asks us to show up and be seen.

Testimonials
The fast was deeply rewarding. By creating quiet, we allowed mental and emotional clarity to shine through with the help of Kenny's directed practices and prompts. Doing this in community with other men was especially powerful. It deepened the experience with accountability, support, and brotherhood. Kenny was an exemplary leader. He set the structure and direction but let curiosity and openness flourish. I'm looking forward to joining again next year. — Alex Sacco
The physical experience of fasting was far easier than I anticipated. What I didn’t expect was the clarity of mind, openness of heart and body, and heightened awareness that would stay with me. Kenny’s facilitation continued to deepen my self-awareness and helped me align with what matters most. The benefits are still unfolding. This fast is a gift that keeps giving. — Eric Guarino
Quarterly fasting provides a framework for aligning with the seasons mentally, physically, and physically. Kenny is a highly attuned coach and knows how to handle the nuances of a community-centered growth experience where everyone is coming with different experience levels and varying ranges of beliefs. I felt cared for and challenged in a good way to go even deeper than I’d gone in previous fasts. — Christopher Decker
Kenny is a tremendous model for navigating the challenges of fasting, disconnecting from the world, and reconnecting with ourselves. Fasting with him has become an anchor point for me to move through my year with purpose, presence, and clarity - keeping me accountable to the man I want to be while being in community with other men who want the same. — Michael Eberhard
Kenny Borg held an impeccable container — clear guidance, radical presence, and a level of authenticity that created instant brotherhood among the men in our group. Even in a virtual format, the daily support through calls and group communication made the connection feel deep and real. His facilitation made this one of the best and most positively impactful decisions I’ve made this year.” — Eric Guarino
