Come Together in Joy

Yeah, there are some crazy, heartbreaking things going on in our country and around the world right now (like the dismantlement of DEI initiatives). We're coping the best way we know how:

1. By leaning into our community for support
2. By leaning into our joy (joy can be an act of resistance!)
3. And by celebrating the tremendous bounty the Earth provides so generously (perfect for the summer solstice!)

The solstice is a time to celebrate the sun, sunlight, warmth, and heat. We celebrate the longest day of the year. We celebrate the origin of life, we honor photosynthesis and the solar biosphere, the cyclical nature of our earth, and we dance to a circadian rhythm.

What Is Solarpunk?

"What is the song of a community that seeks to live within its means and in harmony with nature? What is the highest vision we are capable of bringing forth? What is the most beautiful story we could write about humanity?"

"Envision a world where we live in service to the planet and the well-being of our communities. Every person has a unique role. Each being has a gift and offering to the world that sustains and nourishes them with energy and resources to accomplish their mission.

Imagine a world in which humans and nature are flourishing and thriving. In this vision, we live in a symbiotic alliance that honors and respects our relationship with nature and each other."

- Day Sanchez

Solarpunk gives us hope. It invites each and every one of us to dream of a better future where all humanity, especially those historically marginalized, and the Earth thrive in harmony and where we respect and give thanks to the planet that has so generously given us a home — instead of plundering its natural resources in the pursuit of profits.

Solarpunk is a heartfelt art movement that acknowledges that our society is on a destructive path. It resists the powerful corporations and politicians quickly depleting our planet's natural resources and their use of capitalism, consumerism, and racism/sexism to distract us from what's going on. Solarpunk provides a vision for an equitable future where no humans are subjugated because of their origins, beliefs, sexual preferences, etc.
