Magic is everywhere, but especially potent in nature. When celebrating Summer's abundance, create an outdoor picnic to revel in the gifts of the season.
Intention:
Why are you hosting a picnic? Is it to honor someone's birthday? Are you celebrating the Sun? Is this event meant to reconnect people with the natural world? Do you want to show off your home remodel projects? Get clear on what you want to get out of your event or what you want your guests to walk away with. The magic is in your intention and mindset.
Location:
Pick a place that supports your intention. Consider the needs of people. Do you need table and chairs?
Food
Choose local, handmade, fresh foods. Cook as little as possible and keep things fresh. Infuse the food with your intentions as you cook. Don't have time for a big feast, grab a fresh baguette, a local cheese, and some stone fruit. Give thanks to all beings who made the food possible.
Setting a Magical Table
Candle Lighting: The most candles the better. If fire is not safe, use battery candles.
Setting Intentions
Invite the divine. Call in the directions and welcome members of your Spiritual Support Team.
Decorate with sacred objects (shells, crystals, statuettes, plants, meaningful pottery...)
Call in the energy you wish to cultivate - speak it aloud!
Gratitude Practice. Give thanks to all the objects and food
Choose Plates & Silverware with stories (historical, family, travel...)
Invite Nature In - decorate with greenery
Choose reusable / compostable materials to reduce harm on the Earth.
