The summer solstice is an astronomical event that occurs annually in June in the Northern Hemisphere and in December in the Southern Hemisphere. It marks the longest day of the year in terms of daylight hours and the shortest night. During the summer solstice, the Earth's axial tilt is at its maximum, leaning toward the Sun as much as it can in the respective hemisphere.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the summer solstice usually falls around June 21st. On this day, the North Pole is tilted closest to the Sun, causing the Sun to appear at its highest point in the sky and providing the most daylight of any day in the year. The exact timing can vary slightly from year to year, but it typically occurs between June 20th and June 22nd.
The summer solstice has been celebrated in various cultures throughout history as a significant event, often associated with festivals, rituals, and traditions. Many ancient civilizations built monuments or structures aligned with the solstice, such as Stonehenge in England, which aligns with the sunrise on the summer solstice.
In addition to its cultural and historical significance, the summer solstice also has practical implications for agriculture, as it marks the midpoint of the growing season in the Northern Hemisphere, with the longest period of daylight to support plant growth.
Overall, the summer solstice is a fascinating astronomical event that has been observed and celebrated by humanity for thousands of years. It symbolizes the peak of light and warmth in the annual cycle of the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
Included activities: flower wreath making, foraging, bonfire and fire meditation, meadow bathing and meditation, music and rituals, grounding and other activities. 
Included extras: traditional snacks and beverages, soup made from foraged goods.
