June 20 – 22, 2023: Summer Solstice Event & Gathering

Summer Solstice is a time of new beginnings for Indigenous Peoples all over the world, and we celebrated our annual signature event Summer Solstice 2023. Summer Solstice 2023 was a Native-Womxn curated event that brought together philanthropy, Native Womxn visionaries, activists, helpers, and healers to support and learn about important Indigenous issues, taking a deep dive into the culture.

The event on June 20-22, 2023 was in the beautiful Indigenous lands of New Mexico— the land of enchantment. We visited Chaco Canyon, a site that is sacred to many Indigenous Nations in the area and one of the few places in the world where an astronomical phenomenon occurred during the Summer Solstice at the ruins.

In addition to our visit to Chaco Canyon, we also visited a very special place, Kasha Katuwe – Tent Rocks National Monument located on the traditional homelands of the Pueblo de Cochiti people. Tent Rocks was home to cone-shaped rock formations that were the products of volcanic eruptions that occurred 6 to 7 million years ago and left pumice, ash, and tuff deposits over 1,000 feet thick. Post-hike, we enjoyed a traditional Pueblo meal.

Summer Solstice 2023 benefited Return to the Heart Foundation’s grant fund for Traditional Helpers and Healers.
