In feng shui, the Summer Solstice marks the peak of yang energy—the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. While it is often thought of as the beginning of summer, the Chinese solar calendar recognizes it as the height of the season, when fire qi is at its strongest. This powerful moment is associated with abundance, vitality, visibility, and growth. In this episode, we explore the significance of the Summer Solstice through the lens of feng shui and holistic living, and share practical ways to celebrate the season and align with its expansive energy.What we talk about in this episode:-Summer Solstice significance in Feng Shui-The peak of yang energy and fire element-Balancing fire and water elements-Using flowers and natural elements to celebrate-Reflecting on growth and fruition…and much more!Mentioned in this episode:Our Feng Shui Energy Map EkitRegister for our free & on-demand Feng Shui plant workshop, available for a limited timeHarmonize your Home with Feng Shui PlantsEnhance your qi, prosperity and wellnessThanks so much for listening to the Holistic Spaces Podcast brought to you by Mindful Design Feng Shui School!-Sign up for our newsletter for exclusive complimentary special workshops and offers for our newsletter subscribers ONLY! -Make sure you're following us on Instagram for feng shui tips and live Q&A's.-Learn about our courses and certification on our website at: Mindful Design School.-Check out our older episodes on our Holistic Spaces Podcast archive.Time stamps for this episode:[00:00] Celebrating the Summer Solstice[04:10] Understanding Yang Energy and Its Significance[12:01] Feng Shui Practices for the Summer Solstice[19:56] Reflecting on Growth and AbundanceMORE QUESTIONSHire one of our Mindful design school Grads for a 1-1 consultation.

This Sunday when we gather, we have the great privilege to celebrate with a special group of people in our River-family, they are our recent Graduates. Some earned their high school diplomas, several earned a bachelor's degree, one earned their Ph.D.! While all these Grads have completed a great challenge, each of them will now step into a new arena where they will face new opponents and battles. That is also true for you! We all are constantly moving from one arena to another where we face new battles and new opponents. That movement is called life! You may be about to enter the arena of college, or the arena of the workplace, or marriage, or parenting, or retirement. Some have entered the arena of battling financial crisis, or job loss, or the arena of chronic illness or debilitating disease. No matter your current arena or the opponent you are facing, GOD has promised His people that HE desires to fight for them if they will let Him! I'm praying you'll join us as we learn from the life and leadership of a man named Joshua, HOW TO LET GOD FIGHT FOR YOU in the arena you are battling through in this season of life! Pastor Joe Still

Returning guests Cecilia Conti and Josh Reinhold join Torie to eviscerate the cultural climate's pathetic answer to a feminist take on an erotic thriller, THE HOUSEMAID (2025). Starring everyone's favorite MAGA-loving bimbo, Sydney Sweeney, the phenomenally talented Amanda Seyfried, and a lesser-Hemsworth-coded hunk named Brendan Sklenar (who Josh looooves), this film undoubtedly caters to the true crime-obsessed, Colleen Hoover-reading, Lifetime™-loving audience. Featuring disappointingly little sex, atrocious clothing, unnecessarily gratuitous violence, and awful one-liners, this "for women, by women" film fails to meet its intended goal of feminist rhetoric. Despite a truly bang-up performance from Amanda Seyfried, it barely even meets the criteria for a solid hate-watch.  Amid the discourse, Torie struggles not to sound like a misogynist discussing Sydney Sweeney's most famous attributes, and everyone fails (again and again) to correctly pronounce Seyfried.
