New Mexico Summer Solstice Celebration & WomanSpirit Gathering, Oregon, 1975 © Meadow Muska. Women's Festivals.
New Mexico's Summer Solstice Celebration in the mountains of in Jemez Mountains was my first experience of the word "relax". I had never felt safe to be just me, walking, dancing, smiling with the sun on my shoulders. In 1975, I had remodeled a one ton mail truck, and attended Solstice for my 2nd time. When I heard Oregon had a similar gathering, I had to go. Some things have to be experienced to be understood.
