Wreath weaving during the solstice is a long-standing tradition linked to feminine and masculine energies, relationships, marriage, and sexual vitality. Wreaths can also be woven with protective intentions—for one’s home, family, health, or any personal desire alive in the heart.

The practice may be treated playfully, as a feminine ritual rooted in beauty and pleasure—adorning oneself, enjoying the moment, and connecting in a circle of women. It offers space for shared conversation, sisterhood, joy, and a sense of belonging—standing in contrast to the competitive dynamics often found in male-dominated environments. It’s also a precious opportunity for mothers and daughters to spend creative time together in connection and joy.

Flowers and herbs are not only symbols of the Earth element; they also provide natural aromatherapy and the beauty of nature, inviting mindfulness and sensory presence.

According to tradition, wreaths may be released into the river’s current—to let go of what no longer serves us or to set romantic intentions. If a wreath is caught by a young man, it’s seen as a sign of future love. Wreaths can also be dried and kept until the next solstice, serving as tokens of abundance, love, or personal wishes.

This event is open to women and girls of all ages.
