Summer is the annual permission slip to be lazy. To do nothing and have it count for something. To lie in the grass and count the stars. To sit on a branch and study the clouds.” ~Regina Brett

We live in a commercialized world, rooted in “doing” and where productivity is the measure of our worth and we’re encouraged to mindlessly consume.What if, instead, we devote ourselves to living differently?

What if, instead, we learned to slow down and savor life?

Welcome to Savoring Summer— an invitation to live life differently. To sink in. To slow down. Together, we will create space to deepen, wonder, and play. We will experiment with co-creating our sacred lives in relationship with nature’s elements and invitations. We will prioritize and honor “being” as the holy state that it is. Nothing is required for this journey except your desire to learn how to truly savor and appreciate the pace of summer.

In this special 7-week offering, enjoy seasonally-appropriate weekly invitations to journaling, contemplation, rest, reflection, and so much more. This inner journey of sacred delight will be a combination of self-paced content with just a few live gatherings to honor the season’s invitation of—you guessed it—sinking in and slowing down.

As your guide, Lantern Keeper Jen Trulson truly walks a path of devotion when it comes to honoring the rhythms and the cycles of nature and all that each season has to offer for herself—and helping others to do the same. She loves to walk with women who are pulled to live in reciprocity with nature as our guide and “being” as our default mode. To live in exchange with life.

Your inner road trip into spaciousness, reverence, and joy begins July 17, 2023 ending on a Blue Moon—the second full moon of the month—August 30, 3023.

The Invitation

Hello, Friend—

Every year, summer whispers, “Slow down, sink in, savor me.” While “hot as hell” may not be my favorite temperature, the warmth and wonder of the season is one I deeply cherish. Something about this time of year invites me to abandon my regular routines and rhythms for those infused with more connection and wonder. I still partake in practices to ground and center me. However there is a sense of more space—hello, long summer days.

You see, I have a thing for slowing down. Pausing. I believe that each season invites a different energy. While winter feels more like a time to tend to our tender and tired parts, summer feels like a time to embody the vitality of the sun—life force energy itself. It’s an opportunity to be open to its abundant invitations of connection, playfulness, and wonder.

Come join me on a 7-week journey to sink in, slow down, and savor summer. Deepen into and connect with the invitations of our natural world and Divine Guidance to return to your own sacred rhythm this season. During our time together, I’ll provide abundant space and support for you to reflect on what “savoring summer” means for you.

We begin on July 17th with the Cancer New Moon, tuning into Luna’s invitations and guidance. We’ll gather live via a Zoom call around each full moon—August 1st and 30th—for celebration, sharing and ceremony. And how special!? Our closing call will be on the Blue Full Super Moon in Pisces at the end of August. (Don’t worry, I’ll explain exactly what that means when we’re together…)

Each week, enjoy moon forecasts with journaling prompts for each new and full moon. Wake up every Monday morning to a sacred invitation and Divine Guidance to help support you in living in relationship with the season, nature, and world around you. Consider it your companion for the week in sinking in and slowing down.

Over the weekend, you’ll get a little love note from me too. It will be something to support you in reflecting and mining the magic and medicine from your week. Reflection and contemplation will help nurture and deepen your relationship to both self and summer.

So come. Walk with me this mid-summer. A season of softening.

Are you ready to savor summer? Let’s slow down. Sink into your natural summer rhythm. Allow the season’s invitations to support and guide you. Let’s savor summer together.

xox, jen
