Rhythm and light

Dubbed Baptism of Fire, members of Lake Harriet Spiritual Community observed the Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year with the sun at the apex - with song, celebration, dance and fire. Participants observed the Solstice with a service honoring the divine masculine and celebrating the sun at its zenith. During the service, participants experienced a baptism by fire and then afterwards joined the "Rhythm of Love" drum circle and watched a fire dance.
