CELEBRATE Summer, the time of ripening, & the year's longest day -- with AOLC in Chicago!

 

Join us for our 2nd annual Solstice celebration, when the Sun seems to pause at its farthest point north before heading back south, one of the earth cycles we share.
In spring, our senses move outward as the Earth opens to the light & new generations of living things. In the fullness of summer growing, we also pause to enjoy the expansion & ripening.
