June 22- June 26th, 2026, Esalen— Big Sur, California

The Summer Solstice is the moment when light lingers longest—
a turning point of illumination, expansion and renewal.

Just after the longest day of the year, we gather on the wild cliffs of Esalen to remember this truth: the spark of your soul has never gone out. It may have flickered through the seasons of your life, but the ember remains—steady, luminous and ready to rise.

Soulstice Soulfire is a full-body creative awakening—through yoga, dance, breath, sound and ritual—that both ignites and nourishes your inner fire. These practices help you return to authenticity, embodied expression and the sacred intelligence that lives within your body.

During this workshop, you will engage in:

• Somatic movement practices, including transformational dance experiences such as The Deep Exhale Experience, chakra-based vinyasa, energizing Kundalini kriyas, and yin and soma-inspired restoration

• Sonic healing, including live DJ soundscapes curated by Marques Wyatt and crystal alchemy bowl sound journeys by Cristi

• Chakra and subtle-body exploration, learning the chakras as seven flames of consciousness and how to dissolve the Malas—the veils that obscure inner light

• Ritual and reflection, including Summer Solstice Vision Setting, guided journaling, contemplative inquiry and simple ritual practices you can bring into your daily life

Throughout the week, a continuous sonic field—woven through Marques’ hypnotic soundscapes and Cristi’s bowls—supports deep release, awakening and integration.

By the end of the retreat, you will:

• Awaken and balance your chakra energy

• Restore vitality, clarity and creative flow

• Cultivate embodied presence, self-trust and authentic expression

• Feel nourished, inspired and connected to inner illumination

• Return home with an inner fire that sets your soul alight

This retreat welcomes all levels and all bodies.
Come as you are; leave more awake, more alive and more connected to the light within.
