The Salad and Sangria Solstice Celebration
Crystal Lake, Illinois
The Summer Solstice Salads and Sangrias was an unforgettable event at a private residence on June 22nd, 2023. This year, the host JoAnne Pavin, an Integrative Wellness Practitioner, decided to share the abundance of her garden with her guests and prepare a delicious Seed-to-Table meal herself.
The event was about more than just the food. It was an immersive experience with an hour of movement, yoga, journaling, and guided meditation led by Swati Mhaske, Doctor of Ayurveda. The guests connected with their bodies and minds before indulging in a celebratory meal.
The homemade Sangria and freshly picked garden fare were a feast for the senses. The dinner was made with love and care, using hand-picked herbs and infused refreshing beverages. The fruits and abundance of the seeds planted in the spring were celebrated with each bite.
As the festivities ended, the guests were treated to the breathtaking sight of the new crescent moon. The evening refreshed and nourished their minds and bodies, and they left with positive intentions for the new summer season.
Overall, The Summer Solstice Salads and Sangrias event was an experience that celebrated nature's bounty and the connection between mind, body, and soul. It was a true Seed-to-Table celebration that left everyone feeling nourished and fulfilled.

The Summer Solstice
Creative Renewal 2021
For thousands of years, many cultures in the Northern Hemisphere worldwide have celebrated the day of the sun reaching its northernmost position in the sky. These celebrations involve planting, feasting, dancing, and singing.
Wherever you are, one common denominator is ritual, creativity, and celebration around food.
The Solstice Creative Renewal Event was held at Bull Valley Country Club, June 21st, 2021. The custom event for fifteen women was led by Integrative Wellness Consultant JoAnne Pavin and curated by Erin McElroy. The evening included an hour of movement, yoga, and creative journaling and painting, followed by a celebratory meal. Chef Zak of Duke’s Alehouse and Kitchen provided a private culinary experience with a seasonal vegetarian menu, including homegrown produce. The healthy local fare was accompanied by no other than herbal infused libations.
The festivities concluded with a bonfire under a moonlit sky where auspicious intentions were set forth for health, love, and happiness through offerings of the rare and powerful agarwood.
