The Summer Solstice is a time of greatest light. It is here at the summer solstice that we explore the concept of flow states in writing, focus on finding inspiration through and with writing, and also reflect on what nourishes us.  In the Sacred Actions Wheel of the Year, the theme is food and nourishment, so we also will engage in some exploration of what nourishes us: physically, emotionally, and spiritually. As part of this inspiration and nourishment, we look at how journaling practices can be a springboard into prayers and ritual writing.  And finally, we add another activity to learning how to craft handmade journals—learning how to make handmade paper from recycled materials that can be used for a journal.   Finally, we will explore one of the things that offer humans an “optimal experience” – the flow state.  The flow state is something that you can get into when you are engaged in a range of activities and it is deeply connected with the sacred acts of creation.
