Summer Solstice, facilitated by R.J Joseph, Native American Program Director

Sun. June 15, 2008 - Sun. June 22, 2008
Celebrate the first day of summer and the longest day of the year with a special ceremony in the Crystal Grotto, the philosophical heart of Mii amo. The circular room with earthen floor was inspired by a Native American kiva, a place of ceremony and transformation. It features an aperture in the domed ceiling, positioned so that the sun passes directly over it at ten minutes after noon on the Summer Solstice, illuminating the quartz crystal cluster in the center of the room. The Summer Solstice has historically been a time of rejuvenation for many cultures. When the sun's energy is at its highest point in the sky, heralding the start of a new season, Native American culture believes this to be an optimum time to reflect on the seeds planted in the earth and in our souls. At Mii amo, the Summer Solstice is a time of cleansing, renewal, love and growth. Additional cultural activities are planned for Mii amo's Summer Solstice observance which guests can enjoy. Native Americans representing story tellers, musicians, chefs, educators, elders, and artisans will be participating and presenting sessions held throughout the week. Guests of Enchantment Resort are also invited to attend and share in the cultural observance of Summer Solstice.
