Solstice Water Ceremony with

As the sun reaches its fullest expression, we gather to honour the convergence of the Summer Solstice and International Day of Yoga through sacred ritual, mantra, and prayer. ☀️💧

Join us for an evening devoted to Goddess Gāyatrī—the radiant power behind the sun, revered in the Vedic tradition as a source of wisdom, protection, and inner illumination.

Together, we will chant the Gāyatrī Mantra 108 times, one of the most ancient and beloved mantras of the yogic tradition.

“We meditate on that wondrous spirit of the Divine Solar Light which shines in every dimension of life. May that Light inspire and guide our inner vision.”

Gathering with water—the element of flow, cleansing, and integration—we will energize the water through mantra and make offerings to the Goddess, creating space for blessing, healing, and remembrance. Through ritual, the water becomes a living vessel for prayer and intention.

Bring your sankalpa (heartfelt intention) and offer it into this stream of wisdom. Through mantra, breathwork, mudrā, reflection, and sacred water ceremony, we cultivate clarity, restoration, and deeper trust in our inner guidance.

✨ This ceremony supports:
• Clarity and discernment
• Emotional and energetic cleansing
• Nervous system restoration
• Deeper trust in intuition
• Alignment with truth in daily life
• Intention setting for the season ahead

🌿 What you’ll experience:
• Gāyatrī Mantra chanting x108
• Sacred water ritual for intention, prayer, and blessing
• Storytelling and teachings on Goddess Gāyatrī
• Traditional yogic practices including mantra, breathwork, and mudrā
• Ritual with our charged water and sweet offering (prasad)

📍 MĀ Yoga & Wellness, Victoria, BC
🗓 Saturday, June 20, 2026
⏰ 7:00–9:30 PM

This offering is rooted in the Vedic/Yogic lineage and Bhakti Yoga and honours Satya’s ancestral relationship to these sacred traditions.

In Sanskrit, viveka (विवेक) means discernment, discrimination, or the ability to clearly distinguish between things especially between:

* the real and the unreal
* the eternal and the temporary
* truth and illusion
* the Self and the ego/mind

This is such an important thing to fine tune when we are understanding our alignment in the world and where to put our energy.

At the same time when we distinguish something that is not for us, that is enough information. Sometimes the constant justification is just the mind spinning and pulling you away from where you need to direct your inner forces.

I hope we all can clear the space we need on this auspicious day of the month.

Happy full moon 🌕
