Which PDF for Me? Explainer
After you download the PDF and collect all the necessary supplies you can create your own bundle or share it with friends and family. For years I've been leaving Solstice Bundles on front porches for local friends and neighbors. Seasoned Solsticers often gift these bundles as early holiday gifts too.
It's so important to me to support you in your longing for connection. I want everyone to have access to Solstice, regardless of financial situation.
If your heart is calling you to share this ritual with your family, but the cost of the bundle or individual items is financially inaccesible to you at this time, please reach out to me via email:

I welcome supporting you, let's find solutions.
I downloaded the PDF and printed it for my family to start doing together in 2022. I just bought some beeswax pillars from local candle makers and Stockmar sheets myself, and have been sourcing my own supplies for the last few years. This year my children have grown and I purchased the PDF so I could print the instructions for older children. I also have some sisters and friends that I have printed and shared the instructions with so they can read it and see if it is something their families would enjoy. And I refer them to this website if they would like to purchase supplies. For our family it has been an amazing tradition. The kids look forward to it, and for me it is more meaningful than Christmas. It hasn't always happened on the Solstice, I think one year it even happened after Christmas, but it is always worth it. I believe the whole point of life is to love and be loved, so this tradition is a small part in living what I believe and raising confident, capable children to do the same. My kids even want to start a summer solstice tradition as well, probably not with candles, but definitely centered around sharing how much we love each other.
Thank you, Christine, for sharing this with the world!
This process of sharing beautiful truths with loved ones has deepened our relationships, trust and confidence. What Christine offers is so much more than a package of supplies and a path to utilize them. This work is deeply nourishing and healing.
