‘Lux Solem’ is Latin for “the light of the sun”. Join award-winning author Fernando Rover Jr. for a 90 minute virtual reflective writing circle to honor the Summer Solstice – a time of abundance, illumination, and celebrating the light within. Using the symbolisms of summer and solstice – where the Sun is at its highest peak–  attendees will be guided through evocative guided exercises encouraging them to explore the awakening of self. 

Whether you’re seeking to reconnect with your personal journey, uncover new insights, or simply enjoy the meditative process of writing, this class offers a peaceful and creative space to reflect on the season’s themes. Join for a nurturing and inspiring session of introspective writing as we celebrate the arrival of summer together.
