A Father's Day Solstice Village Heart
A Father's Day Solstice Village Heart
Join us for a special Father’s Day Solstice themed Village Heart.
Sunday, June 21st, 2026
2 pm - 4:30 pm
At a Private Residence in Village Homes, Davis, California
(The address will be sent to you after you register)
As the summer solstice invites us into the fullness of the light, we'll take time to illuminate what has been passed down to us, what we wish to honor, and what we are ready to transform.
Bring an object or photograph connected to a father, father figure, ancestor, or an aspect of fathering. Together we’ll build a communal altar, share from the truth of the moment, explore through movement and guided exercises, step into different perspectives, create images from what we discover, and harvest what feels worth carrying forward.
This workshop is an invitation to explore the gifts, lessons, strengths, questions, and unfinished stories that continue to live within us.
Along the way we’ll be exploring not only our relationships with actual fathers and father figures, but also the inner father energies we have cultivated, resisted, inherited, or created for ourselves.
You do not need to have had a good father, or be a father to participate. You only need a willingness to explore the ways fathering has touched your life.
We’ll close by returning to the altar, expressing gratitude for what has emerged, and reclaiming the objects we brought—carrying home whatever new understanding, connection, or possibility has become available.
Tickets: $25 by June 19th/$35 after
Space is limited and early registration is recommended. If for any reason you are unable to attend after purchasing a ticket, you are welcome to use it for a future Village Heart Gathering within 2 months. (This is a monthly event.)
