Midsummer is celebrated in festivals throughout Europe in honor of the summer solstice—the longest day of the year—and we can't wait to share this energetically potent time together.

We'll spend all day Saturday through late morning Sunday enjoying Harbin's healing waters and sauna, doing yoga, meditating and honoring both the sun and the moon with our practice. We'll soak, we'll journal, and we'll gather together in a women's circle under the magic of the stars. This is the perfect opportunity to recharge with summer's strong solar energy and pause for both reflection and connection.

Meet Carlie
Carlie Stewart took her first yoga class in 2014. She immediately fell in love with asana (physical practice of postures) and quickly began to explore yoga beyond the mat. With a 200hr YTT program, and accumulating continuing education regularly, she is a dedicated student first to this practice. She teaches classes at two popular studios in the greater Sacramento area and is beloved by her students. She is passionate about yoga and holds deep reverence for the yoga philosophy. She is playful and fun but deeply devoted to the work, the practice, and the depth of this beautiful journey. She holds space and encourages her students to release all expectations and let yoga do the work.

Meet Olivia
Olivia O’Bryon Mackey (OM for short!) considers herself to be a hummingbird with multiple passions and plenty of curiosities that all seem to weave themselves back together into building community. She teaches for a K-12 independent study charter school, has a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, and first began teaching mindfulness to children when she started classroom teaching at an economically disadvantaged school in 2010.

Since then, her mindfulness work has grown to include her own daily practice as well as guiding meditations in community and as a teacher on Insight Timer. She credits quieting her chronic health challenges to cultivating this ongoing practice. In her study of meditation, Joe Dispenza, Caroline Myss, and Dr. Zach Bush have been her greatest sources of inspiration in using mindfulness to heal at a mind, body, and soul level. She attended her first week-long Dispenza advanced retreat in the summer of 2024 and can’t wait to return.
