If the Spring represents action, the Summer represents patience.

Co-Creative Mandalas have a vibration that anchors, activates specific qualities, and represents something about ourselves, the natural world, and the energy in the universe at a particular time. This year the mandalas support Aligning with Wisdom,
within mind, body, and spirit,
with the natural rhythms in nature,
and with the Great Mandala.
The mandala energy for this month is Amplification.
It's been fun and illuminating to explore Amplification and
all the ways it supports aligning with wisdom: Your wisdom--mind, body, and spirit--by listening to you inner guidance: How is your wisdom calling you to embrace Amplification?
This Co-Creative Mandala, Amplification, from a photograph of zinnia (symbolizes recollection) is associated with the root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, and crown chakras. It reminds us that we are more than the sum of our parts. It invites us to draw together our most expansive self, the rhythms of nature, and the flow of the universe to unlock the essence of who we truly are. This is an opportunity for co-creating sacred space for your spiritual growth. By raising your vibration you'll align with your soul-driven purpose. Embrace the transformation that reveals your inner spark!
Well!!!! Yesterday it was spring equinox and wow... it's summer solstice! What happened? My how times flies...when you're having a good time..or not! I know lots happened between then and now. We know, because we were present for it. And yet, here we are at the mid year. I am thrilled to see the sun shining today.
I love that we've enjoyed lots of rain this spring in these parts. While the soil, my garden, and earth really need the moisture, I also need to see the sun, feel the warmth on my body, and the wonderful energy it brings.
This energy offers opportunities to reflect on our vision for the year, our soul-driven purpose, and nature's powerful transformational energy. The peak of the year is the vibrant, radiant Amplification energy that this season brings. It's a powerful moment of pausing, appreciating, and celebrating fullness.
Amplification is a process that Jung developed in the the early 20th for interpreting dreams and connecting the personal with the collective consciousness. It's also a term that is used to expand and magnify our spiritual awareness and includes practices and techniques like meditation, energy work, connecting with the rhythms of nature, and visualization.
Summer is nature's great exhale - a time of ripening, radiance, and playful energy.
This is the time for honoring nature's rhythm and the sun’s highest point in the sky — the moment when the light has reached its fullest expression. You're also invited to celebrate your own growth, your own becoming, your own journey toward remembering your wholeness, toward aligning with Wisdom.
Summer Solstice invites you to feel connected and powerful.
The solstice arrives with heightened energy — not just from the sun, but from the deeper rhythms of nature that mirror our own cycles of growth and transformation. This moment says:
You’ve come far. You’ve grown beautifully.
Now… where are you being called to shine brighter?
The energy of this season is air — and with air comes clarity.
This is your opportunity to pause and refocus. To ask:
What have I already cultivated that deserves to be celebrated?
What distractions or old stories need to be burned away?
Where is my energy most needed next?
This season is here to support you in growing with intention, by aligning more deeply with your inner wisdom, the wisdom of nature, and with cosmic wisdom.
Real growth includes moving forward and pausing to notice, celebrate, and acknowledge the ways you've stretched, softened, and blossomed over the past six months by honoring the light within.
The Solstice asks us to stop, to witness ourselves, and to honor the journey we’ve walked so far this year.
Here are a few journal prompts to ask yourself as we move into the second half of the year:
What experiences, lessons, or growth moments have shaped me since the year began?
Where have I shown up for myself in small or quiet ways that deserve celebration?
What dreams have taken root — even if they’re still underground?
Where do I feel called to nurture or expand next?
Through honoring this day of light, we energetically set in motion a period of awakening, of Amplification, in our consciousness which lasts all summer until the fall equinox. Besides journaling, here are some ways to align with Wisdom and harness its power to expand the light within you.
1. Set summer intentions: Amplification of energy is powerful for setting intentions. Lean into the themes surrounding nature's rhythms: patience, nourishment, and trust.
2. Express gratitude: Every time you express gratitude your energy shifts from constriction to expansion. When choose gratitude you acknowledge to the Universe that you trust your wishes will be fulfilled.
Even when the world feels fast or uncertain, nature reminds us to slow down, look around, and remember our place in something vast, wise, and ongoing.
Together, we are weaving a new reality, one that reflects our highest potential.
Pause. Reflect. Celebrate. You are already so much farther along your sacred path than you realize.
Let's step into summer together - with open hearts, curious minds, and a spirit of celebration.
With love and deep honor for your journey,
