Midsummer Immersion with Horus July 22-26, 2026

🌞 Midsummer Immersion with Horus — A Solstice Retreat of Fire, Sun & Power

July 22–26, 2026 • Remote Wilderness, British Columbia, Canada

Experience the peak of summer’s vitality in a ceremonial gathering dedicated to the Sun’s fullest expression and the active presence of Horus — Guardian of the Bright Horizon and Avenger of Light.

This is a deeply embodied immersion into seasonal fire, solar potency, and personal mastery.

🔥 What Is the Midsummer Immersion with Horus?

Midsummer marks the zenith of solar strength, a threshold between abundance and transformation. In many ancient traditions, this time symbolizes clarity, illumination, and the unveiling of what has ripened in the interior world. At this retreat, we intentionally align with that peak energy — not for passive enjoyment, but for purposeful awakening, expanded agency, and strengthened inner light. 

Horus — the falcon-hearted sky deity whose gaze embodies the Sun’s insight — is honored here as a force of vigilance, sovereignty, and continued rebirth. Through ceremonial structure, embodied ritual, and elemental focus, participants are invited to connect with their own solar center of will, clarity, and inner fire.  

☀️ Why This Retreat Matters

Across cultures, mid-summer solstice is a moment when the veil between inner intent and outer manifestation thins — a time of illumination where the self can be calibrated toward growth, purpose, and illuminated clarity.

During these five days you will:

Deepen your connection to solar and elemental fire energies

Clarify and expand your personal will and sacred direction

Engage in intentional ritual across fire, river, and community contexts

Mirror the brilliance of your inner flame with the Sun’s peak strength

Support personal transformation with structured practices  

This isn’t a retreat of relaxation alone — it is a threshold experience that blends spiritual tradition with embodied work, group ritual, and nature attunement.

Athena 

Founder & Lead Teacher, Temple of Solomon Retreats

Athena brings over 36 years of spiritual practice and teaching experience to Temple of Solomon Retreats. Their journey began in a far too haunted house on the sunshine coast of British Columbia,  Canada.  Leading to deep study of Theosophy very early in life, then the study and practice of magic once she came of age.

After a vision quest, then again during the Abramelin working years later, Athena was called to create a sacred retreat space where seekers could connect deeply with nature, divine energies, and their own inner wisdom.

Known for her no nonsense approach, Athena creates transformative experiences that balance traditional wisdom with accessible, contemporary approaches. Their teaching style emphasizes practical and effective methodology.
