Sun Salutations for Solstice

On June 24th, Orwell Arts gathered together to celebrate Midsummer. 

The festivities began with a lively performance from the Music Group, who treated everyone to some groovy blues and bell-ringing.

Next, the group enjoyed a relaxing yoga session, guided by Kitchen member Fiona. Everyone joined in practicing seated sun salutations, and the calm energy brought a lovely balance to the afternoon. 

Then it was time to test everyone’s knowledge with a summer-themed quiz by Dhaoud (a member from the Media Team!) His questions kept people thinking and laughing. 

After that, the group gathered around a fire pit. The challenge was to light a fire the old-fashioned way—no matches, no lighters! Using a stick, a rope, and plenty of teamwork, people pushed, pulled, and coaxed smoke into flame. After much effort and anticipation, the fire caught. The moment was met with cheers, laughter, and a well-deserved round of applause. 

To close the celebration, the Music Group returned for one final song, leaving everyone in high spirits. It was a lovely afternoon, full of laughter, and a wonderful sense of community.
