Grand Rising Summer Solstice Summit began in 2021 at the peak of a global health crisis that required humanity to evaluate its relationship with the Earth and each other. Many in community experienced illness, loss, injustice and hatred, and in spite of that we continued to thrive, heal and shine. This global virtual summit held on the Summer Solstice, the day when the sun holds its place in the sky the longest, was created to celebrate the resiliency, vitality and achievements of black, brown and indigenous people. The awakening that occurred and the work that made communities thrive can be observed around the world. During this period many reconnected with their ancestral practices, created new opportunities to follow their passions and become leaders in their communities by creating innovative solutions. Summer Solstice is significant because it marks a season of bounty, abundance and beauty. On this day, when the sun shines longest in the sky, we celebrate… US!
The theme for this year's Grand Rising Summer Solstice Summit is "Àṣẹ," a powerful affirmation of life, energy, and collective power. This summit, created for Black, Brown, Latinx, and Indigenous peoples from around the world, celebrates our resilience and ability to thrive despite facing significant challenges. It is a virtual sacred space dedicated to communal healing, ritual, and celebration, fostering deep connection to our ancestors, the Earth, and each other.
In honor of the Summer Solstice, a time of abundance and beauty, we come together to honor the strength and wisdom that has carried us through and continues to guide us toward a future of collective flourishing. "Ase" signifies the power of life and the intentional creation of a future rooted in vitality and unity.
"Àṣẹ lo ń fi ọwọ́ ṣe." "It is Àṣẹ that empowers the hand to act."
This Yoruba proverb highlights that true power and success come from Àṣẹ, the energy that directs and manifests our actions into the world.
