Summer Solstice Peace Meditation

21 June 2026 at Avalon

A gathering of light on the longest day, honouring peace within and upon the earth.

On the Summer Solstice, we came together at Avalon to mark this sacred turning point with intention and presence. As the sun reached its apex, we gathered over coffee before beginning our meditation on peace, centreing ourselves in the light of the season.

Many of us then took up brush and stone, painting peace stones with care and creativity. Each brushstroke was a prayer, each colour a blessing. These stones, now infused with our intention, were placed mindfully in the Peace Sanctuary at Avalon—a living garden of stillness and hope.

Our meditation held a single clear intention:

May Peace Prevail on Earth

In that silence together, we offered this prayer not only for ourselves, but for all beings, all lands, all hearts that hunger for peace. The peace stones serve as anchors for this intention, remaining at Avalon as witnesses to our commitment.

We closed the morning in celebration, gathering for lunch to share the warmth of community and friendship. The Solstice had turned; the light was full, and so was our hearts.

These are some of stones that were used.
