Solstice Fire & Drumming Ceremony w/ Sound Bath After

(Meetup does NOT reflect an accurate # of attendees - there is always a group that attends).
In celebration of the radiant return of the Sun and the full bloom of Summer, we invite you to gather in sacred ceremony for our Annual Solstice Fire Releasing Ritual—a long-standing community tradition led by Nicole Alcyon and Kevin Marshall (Mr. Reiki).

As we stand at the height of solar energy, we harness this powerful moment to honor the light within and release what no longer serves.

The Solstice marks a turning point—an invitation to shed old layers and rise renewed, clear, and luminous.

We’ll begin by gathering around the fire, where we’ll engage in a powerful ritual of release and renewal.

Then we'll:
~Join in sacred drumming and rattling to activate the space, raise energy, and set the tone for transformation
~Write down what you’re ready to release—old patterns, limiting beliefs, blockages
~Burn your paper in the flames, allowing it to be transmuted into light and spaciousness
~Offer dried herbs or symbolic items, infused with gratitude, wisdom, or closure
~Let the fire carry your intentions, clearing space for what you’re now ready to call in

This sacred act of release prepares us to welcome the season ahead with clarity, vitality, and purpose.

Then, as the sun begins to set, we’ll shift into stillness for a deeply soothing Sound Bath Meditation in Nicole’s backyard sanctuary. Relax and integrate under the open sky with the healing resonance of multiple Gongs and 17 Singing Crystal Bowls among various other instruments—each tone designed to restore balance, awaken inner peace, and help anchor the brilliance we've invoked.

A brief guided meditation during the sound bath will help ground your intentions and connect you more deeply to your Divine Light within—offering one final energetic seal to this transformational evening.

Why Fire Rituals Are So Transformative:

> They create rapid energetic shifts when approached with intention and openness.
> They help us release outdated beliefs, patterns, or burdens, allowing for rebirth—like the Phoenix rising from the ashes.
> They amplify our prayers, offerings, and manifestations, sending them powerfully into the unseen realms.

What to Bring (Optional):

~Personal offerings (dried herbs, small items of meaning, letters or notes for release - we'll provide some as well.)
~A drum or rattle (we’ll have plenty but if you have a favorite of your own...)
~Journal or notebook to write out what we're releasing (we'll have paper though as well)
~Pen (we'll have a few, mainly just pencils though)
~Blanket or cushion for the sound bath (we'll have some blankets as ground cover, but bring your own for added comfort)
~Open heart & willingness to let go and receive

Come celebrate this vibrant turning of the seasonal wheel with us. Let the fire transmute the old, let the drumming awaken your spirit, and let the sound bath fill your body with light.

This is a night to remember your brilliance and honor the sacred radiance within and all around you.

♦︎BIO♦︎

As her sole profession for 2 decades, Nicole Alcyon has combined her skills as a Hypnotherapist, Sound Healer – with over a dozen Singing Crystal Bowls, a chakra set of Tibetan bowls, 7 Gongs and other sound healing instruments – and her expertise on Chakra Cleansing/Balancing to create a unique and highly potent approach to therapeutic group sound healing sessions. These are channeled guided meditations/sessions from her Higher Self and the Divine that she brings forth. The intention for these high vibrational Hypno-Chakra and/or Sound Healing Sessions is to provide the opportunity to strengthen our connection and alignment to our Higher Self!

Nicole graduated from her year-long Hypnotherapy program in 2004, and received very clear guidance to purchase a chakra set of the singing crystal bowls that same year. Upon playing her set for the first time, the idea of Hypno-Chakra Therapy was instantly "downloaded" in the mind and birthed into existence!

She has been facilitating private and group sessions & courses since 2004, and as an accomplished facilitator, she recognizes the importance of a sacred and energetically clean/safe place to release and integrate.
