Petrecerea Solstițiului de vară a anului

Găzduit de ☀️ Miha & Ben ☀️

Event details

Solstițiul de vară,

 or Litha on the Celtic Calendar, is one of the four solar festivals (quarter days) that fall within the Wheel of the Year in the annual cycle of seasons. And while it marks the astronomical beginning of summer on the Gregorian Calendar, people in Scandinavian countries such as Sweden, Norway, Finland, and a few other parts of the world celebrate “Midsummer” on the solstice.

Romanians celebrate 'Sânzienele' or 'Drǎgaica' on this day. Sânzienele are fantastic beings, good fairies of unprecedented beauty, who fully manifest their magical powers only on this night. They are descending from the clouds of the clear June sky on earth, to sing and dance in full celebration. In many parts of the country, on the day of the 'Sânziene',  there are festivals in which girls and boys dance, sing, party, and worship these little creatures of good that will help them in life and love.

Since ancient times, Summer Solstice traditions have included gathering with family and friends to celebrate the return of sunlight, love, life, and a good harvest.
 
And today, we're inviting you to celebrate with us.

Ne-am gândit că nu vom face asta niciodată.

De fapt, am spus întotdeauna că nu ne vom căsători niciodată.
Cu toate acestea, iată-ne.

Întâlnirea a însemnat găsirea luminii noastre înăuntru și totul s-a schimbat.

Există acel tip de iubire care vine orbește, când te aștepți cel mai puțin, când nici măcar nu o cauți, dar ești pregătit pentru ea. Te descoperi că iubești pe deplin o persoană, pentru cine este, exact așa cum este. Îți pasă profund și îi prețuiești...
Nu consumă, vindecă și îmbogățește; face viața mai semnificativă; îndepărtează toate temerile și te face să te simți încrezător și curajos; crește și te face să crești.
Această dragoste este ca soarele de vară, strălucind peste viața noastră.
Noi o avem. Ne simțim binecuvântați și norocoși și mulțumim universului pentru asta.
‍
Ne-am înconjurat de ani de zile (o să vă spunem povestea într-o zi) și în cele din urmă ne-am găsit unul pe celălalt. Vrem să trăim aceste zile ale noastre, pe acest pământ, acum, la maxim și să le sărbătorim într-o mare petrecere în locul nostru de fericire.
‍
Și vrem să împărtășim aceste momente și această dragoste cu voi.

La ce să te aștepți

Vino cu o minte deschisă și o inimă deschisă și lasă-te să experimentezi o zi plină de lumină, muzică și culori. Va avea mai multe detalii... odată ce ne-am dat seama TBA

Light up the shores at Praia Princesa

Costa da Caparica is our home. It's where we feel the fullest, the liveliest and the happiest. It's also where we met. So it was the obvious choice of place to celebrate with you, right on the shores of the Atlantic.
‍
We have booked a fantastic venue, at Praia Princesa, to celebrate the sun, sea, love and sand, and this will host us for the evening from 5pm until 3am; we have DJs playing banging tunes and food and drinks to keep us going through the night.

We have a lot of special moments and surprises prepared for you, we won't give it all away.
However, here's a brief outline, so you know how to plan your day.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the day.
What should I wear?
Think  summer beach festival. Bring your bikinis if you want to go for a swim. Don't worry about shoes (barefoot is preferable, we will be on the beach). Bring some warm clothes for the night. Or keep dancing to keep warm.
Think colours, flowers, glitter and lights.
How to get to Praia Princesa?
The easiest way is to catch an Uber or Bolt there and back.
This is the address: Est das Praias, 2825-491 Costa da Caparica; https://maps.app.goo.gl/7CdzwiFSRU5t9Bi97.
We don't recommend you driving there...you may not be able to drive back ;).
‍
Can I bring my kids?
We will have a great team of kids entertainers from FUNtoche for 4 hours during the afternoon and early evening, so that the grown ups can be kids themselves for a little while.
What's on the menu?
We will have a buffet with delicious dishes you can choose from. There will be meal options for guests with dietary restrictions or allergies.
And an open bar.
What should I know about ecstatic dance?
Ecstatic Dance as we know it began in 2000, on the Big Island of Hawaii. It has become a movement, a culture that celebrates freedom, love and community.
There are 3 simple guidelines:
1. We Dance without shoes (or: We Dance Barefoot) This allows us to connect more fully with the Ground If you have a physical condition and you need shoes, that's ok.
2. We Dance without words (or: We Dance with Body Language) This makes it easier to be in a Meditative State; No Verbal Instruction from the Facilitators; No Talking from the Dancers.
3. We Dance as We Are No Phones, No Cameras/Videos, No Expectations, No Judgements, No Shoulds, No Oughts…. Just be yourself; with respect for yourself, the space, and one another.
What is there to do/see around Costa da Caparica?
We've curated a selection of beach bars, restaurants and cafes around our beautiful little beach town.
You can also go explore Lisbon, which is about 20min drive from Costa.

Alăturați-vă nouă pentru cea mai mare sărbătoare a iubirii și luminii, în timp ce ne schimbăm jurămintele și începem noua noastră călătorie împreună.
