Somatic Solstice Ritual | Helen Phelan x Eden Sky Orion
About the ritual.
We’ll begin with an intuitive movement practice inspired by the slow burn energy of the summer solstice—when the earth is in full bloom.
We’ll gradually build heat in the body through athletic contemporary Pilates, somatic movement, breath, fascial release, and guided improvisation designed to awaken the core, release tension, and leave you feeling grounded, expansive, and connected to nature's rhythm.
Then, we'll soften into a brief guided meditation, followed by expansive journaling to help you release what no longer serves and set clear intentions for the season ahead.
You’ll also get to learn what’s coming up in the astrology of summer 2026, so you can be prepared for all the celestial shifts in store.
This is your invitation to arrive fully in your body, your breath, and this radiant turning point in the year.
