ESSENCE
Since 2015, Sun Sun Love Yoga Solstice Fest has brought together a community of practitioners who feel that together they can go further on this journey to the center of their hearts. It is a call that transcends borders to celebrate the summer and winter solstices, offering spaces for transformation, community, celebration, and solidarity.
THE SOLSTICES
Twice a year, during the longest and shortest days of the year, being aware that the sun stops to change direction, we gather to remember the essence of who we are through various practices of yoga, meditation, and other practices that work on the expansion of consciousness and the union of heart and mind.
Barcelona and India
Currently, the summer solstice is celebrated in Besalú, a magical town near Girona in Catalonia, Spain. The winter solstice is celebrated in the transformative Arunachala (Tiruvannamalai) in southern India. Both celebrations share the same purpose: to reconnect with the cycles of nature, build community, and raise funds for charitable projects (full details at Solidarity).

What happens
True transformation happens when a group of people come together to practice in community; the collective vibration rises, masks fall away, the mind expands, the heart opens, and the spirit listens. We allow our essence to blossom moment by moment through practices such as Sungazing and other meditations, yoga asana practices, devotion through chanting and Bhakti yoga and Kirtan, personal development workshops in the somatic, therapeutic, and energetic realms, creative expression through painting, writing, dance, or music, body-and-soul experiences such as ice baths, Temazcal, or massages, nutrition workshops, cacao ceremonies, talks and satsangs, and exploration of the cosmos through astrology and mandala art.
There are no words that can fully describe it; come and experience it. 🙂
Our social commitment
At Sun Sun Love, social commitment is part of the festival’s DNA. 40% of the profits are donated to NGOs and social projects that we directly support – made possible by the fact that many of our workshop leaders and collaborators participate with a symbolic contribution, well below their usual fees.
We want to be transparent about how revenue is distributed:
- 40% charitable donation
- 20% reserve for the next edition
- 20% for workshop leaders
- 20% for the organizing team
