Happy Summer Solstice! Check out these Stonehenge Livestreams!

Happy Summer Solstice!  In case you missed the Stonehenge Summer Solstice Sunrise simulcast, you may be able to catch the Stonehenge Summer Solstice *Sunset* simulcast!  You can catch the Solstice Sunset livestream from Stonehenge, with coverage from 3:30 – 5:30 pm EDT *today*. (Also, it is Winter Solstice/Yule for those in the Southern Hemisphere).   Any Summer Solstice is the peak of the Sun’s presence on Earth, and this year we are just passing the peak of the 11 year solar activity cycle, with our time for the best auroras until 2034 drawing to a close within about a year from now.

The earth is a living, conscious being. In company with cultures of many different times and places, we name these things as sacred: air, fire, water, and earth.
