Litha (better known as summer solstice) is a time for birthing, celebrating, and basking in the beauty of life. It marks the true beginning of summer. June 20th will mark the longest period of light and shortest night of the year, when the sun is at its highest position in the sky. We honor the the abundance of life, radiance, and light that is flourishing around us and we invite that energy to be present within us as well. What in your life are you ready to birth? What has been growing & building inside of you through the autumn, winter, and spring months? Take a couple of hours to thoughtfully reflect & vision cast for the season ahead alongside sisters in your local community. There will be quiet reflective time with journaling prompts & oracle cards, invitations for group sharing, & a restorative meditation & sound bath. Words from Circle Attendees: "The only ritual I always practice is attending Women’s Circles by Steph, of Little Scraps of Magic, LLC because these sacred nights truly align me. Despite practicing meditation for years, there was always some resistance within me preventing full surrender until I stepped into S’il Vous Play and into Steph’s magic. As someone who is always at women’s events and circles, I’ll recommend for every woman I know to drop into this particular circle at least once because something unexplainably transformational happens here especially. I have been to them all, and can vouch that here something touching happens. You can come with something very heavy and pour it into the circle to a safe space of understanding. You can sit down to be in stillness with yourself and amplify joy. You can sit in a circle just to be heard. We do this monthly. I can guarantee that this practice will strike some chord in you and will be transformational in some way - thinking, action or feeling." - Olga What is a Women's Circle? A Circle is a sacred space for women to intentionally gather & deepen connection to self & the collective. Women’s Circles have been around since ancient times, and while modern day circles may have a different flow, you can still expect ritual & ceremony to be a part of the experience. They're kind of like a gentle blend of group therapy & meditation with a heavy emphasis on connecting to our sacred & divine feminine. There is thoughtful, facilitated discussion & sharing, as well as time to lay back & receive music or channeled messages coming through to lovingly support you. This event is created for those who identify as women. What Should I Bring? Yourself, with an open mind & open heart. A water bottle A notebook & pen, yoga mat, blanket (extras will be available if you forget!) If you wish to dress in the spirit of your inner goddess, wonderful!

Reiki is a healing energy technique that was developed in Japan in the 1920s as a means to bring energetic balance to the body. The practice is based on the ancient premise that everything is energy. It can travel across time and space, so you don't even need to be in the same proximity as someone to receive it. I will send Reiki to everyone during the sound bath (this is considered distance Reiki since I will be directing to everyone in the room). All you have to do is set the intention to receive! Cost Tickets are $30 each About Your Facilitator, Steph Instagram Website As your Guide & Facilitator, I create an inclusive & warm environment for those who identify as women to come together and share their experience & to reconnect with their humanness, divine connection, and truth, all without judgement. In addition to being a Circle Facilitator, I'm a Reiki & EFT Practitioner, an Intuitive Life Coach & Spiritual Guide. My clients have said I’m like their Soul Alchemist. I blend my empathic & intuitive gifts with a co-active coaching model in which I work with women to reflect on, reframe, & reclaim their truest, most fully expressed lives. I hold the deepest belief that the world heals & becomes a better place for us all when we have the opportunity to tap into our gifts, cultivate our strengths, & do what lights us up. I trust that when we are connected to our truth & inner knowing, we create a ripple effect that creates a profound impact on our Earth & the people on it.

Join Madrigal Publishing and Hexagon Books in SAY GA(y)ME! An evening of playing Queer Lotería and a book reading from local author/publisher Luz Emma Cañas' memoir, Martial Love. Lotería is the Mexican game of chance. Similar to the game Bingo. Lotería was created in the 1800's with images and archetypes inspired by Mexican nationalism (at the time )and the tarot's major arcana. Some of the images have not aged well. But lucky for us, modern versions of the game have been created like Selena Lotería, Millenial Lotería and Queer Lotería. Apropos to play during PRIDE month! There will be merriment and prizes! After the game, Luz will read from their memoir, Martial Love and take audience member questions. HEXAGON BOOKS 2184 Lee Rd. Cleveland Heights, OH 44118 June 28th 6:30-8PM Art created for the book's cover, inspired by Lotería, will be on display. Martial Love has been described as: a triumph, beautiful, inspiring, powerful, and a must read! Martial Love can be found at Cleveland Heights Library :: Coventry Branch. There will also be a limited amount of books available for purchase. Martial Love synopsis: An all-women’s Ayahuasca ceremony serves as the setting for Luz’s story. As A Xamã administers the psychoactive plant syrup, she asks what brought Luz to this healing circle. The search for a simple answer sends the sputtering warrior on a psychic journey recollecting fragments of her past: A near-death experience as a toddler, navigating through a violent home as a child, and settling into domestic violence as a young mother. Now in the middle of her years, multiple traumas begin sprawling before her after the murder of O Marido, her estranged husband and master of Capoeira. He had no family, leaving Luz the only one who can identify the body; which prompts her return to Brazil from the United States placing her directly in front of the unraveling secrets of her dead husband. Although she lobbies for her husband to receive Islamic burial rites, the day of his funeral, Luz discovers he was buried in a public grave. If his remains are not soon transferred to a permanent plot, they will be cremated and scattered across a mass grave with countless others. From her understanding of Afro-Brazilian ancestor worship, an improper burial could lead to O Marido’s spiritual unrest. If his bones wound up in the wrong hands, the volatile energy of his material life could be used against her. To ensure peace for her, and her children, Luz decides to exhume the remains, knowing that this action of love, and survival, will signal a declaration of war to the powerful characters plotting to condemn her husband’s soul, and skill, to spiritual servitude. She must use her own teachings to take up arms and intercede between the living and the dead, convince her evermore suicidal children that life is a miracle worth staying alive for, and urge her husband to continue his ascension into the higher realms of consciousness until he fully crosses over. Luz’s story is about the belief in a compassionate God, a life after death, and the thin, silver lining between love and dark clouds. Hers is a mythological tale of a hero’s journey through the shadow and along the line of spirit and matter.
