summer solstice women’s retreat
Re-Dream Your Heroine’s Journey
June 20-22, 2025
Chapel Hill, NC
Limited to 12 guests
Join cousins Emily Trinkaus & Elizabeth Trinkaus to celebrate the Solstice and amplify your LIGHT!
Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, the time of maximum light. Traditionally a major turning point in the wheel of the year, Solstice is a time to connect with and celebrate the life-giving, spiritually enlivening power of the Sun. Solstice also marks the start of a new season and is a potent time to renew your life force and plant seeds of intentions for the future.
This year’s Solstice will be super-charged by the Sun’s conjunction with giant Jupiter, the planet of expansion, abundance, and risk-taking.
The astrological assignment is to take the risk of amplifying your unique expression of the light – to courageously shine your heart’s truth and passion and live your purpose at a higher level.
In the intimate weekend retreat, you’ll take a deep dive into your Heroine’s Journey, your passion, and your purpose through the lens of the Sun in your personal birth chart!
While mainstream, “pop astrology” interpretations of Sun signs are often reductive and simplistic, you’ll learn a more useful and inspiring approach to understanding and bringing out the higher potentials of your Sun.
You’ll receive a copy of your birth chart and support for decoding and deepening into the purpose you came here to live. No prior astro-know-how is required – all are welcome, including beginners!
You'll also receive insight into how and why you may hold yourself back from shining your brilliance, and you'll acquire personalized tools to align with your courage and embrace the audacity to shine.
The retreat begins Friday, June 20th, 5:00-7:00pm, with a Summer Solstice Initiation: Intention-Setting Ritual and the Invitation to Shine.
You’ll learn about the astrological significance of this moment in time and how you can successfully co-create with the planetary energies for the next three months and beyond. You’ll be guided to connect with your own light and set intentions for the new season.
(Friday evening is open to all, and if you only want to attend this event, you can sign up here.)
The full weekend retreat (limited to 12 women) continues on Saturday, 10am to 5pm, and Sunday, 9am to noon.
You’ll receive:
A copy of your birth chart and astro-navigational support for decoding and deepening into the purpose you came here to live;
The discovery of your passions and purpose through the lens of the Sun in your personal birth chart;
A Miracle Walk to uncover old stories and write new ones;
Insight into why you were taught to dim your essence and how to align with your innate courage;
An experience of Reflective Writing to reveal your unique Light;
Rituals to plant your seeds of intention for the new season and beyond;
Connection time with other amazing women!
