Please do not put your belongings on a bed if you have not put your tag there. Your tag will say whether you have a top or bottom bunk space or in some cabins there are some bottom bunks not set aside, check the cabin list to make sure that if there is a senior with a bottom bunk that there is a space left.

For RV’s you will also receive a tag to put in the window of your RV and your name will be posted on the marker at the site.

The Solstice Festival includes White Tantric Yoga® and additional programming that complements these days of deep meditation on December 19th, 20th and 21st. Don’t miss out on this chance to go within. Either give White Tantric a try or we will offer a new course around relationships, healing and letting go of our past with Kundalini Yoga & meditation. During this transition period where people are coming to terms with the revelations of abuse in this community’s history, some people will be uncomfortable with videos or a TV screen with Yogi Bhajan on it. As an accommodation and out of respect for survivors/thrivers, 3HO offers the White Tantric Yoga® course alongside continued Solstice programming if you are unable to attend White Tantric Yoga®.

• Winter Solstice officially ends with an all camp class on December 22nd. Camp will officially close at 1:30 PM.
• Please schedule your departure from the site prior to 1 PM.
• Be certain to leave enough time to gather and pack all of your belongings prior to your departure time.
• Please do not leave behind your tent, sleeping bag, or other such items. You can drop them off at a thrift store – do not leave them with Solstice Lost and Found. It creates a lot of extra work and they will be thrown out in the trash. Please make sure you leave your area in the condition you found it, recycle what can be recycled, and throw the rest in the trash. This is the final stage of your yogic practice of seva at solstice.

The Solstice Diet is a unique opportunity to simplify food and live in connection with the earth, deepening into the ability to meditate. While it may appear to be very simple, the body and soul crave the opportunity to cleanse and renew. This menu is crafted to give you the best opportunity to engage fully in the meditative experience and the Yogic Practices.

We love offering the traditional, simple Solstice diet based on feedback of those who LOVE the simple breakfast soup and evening mung beans.  Every year we try to make improvements, so look for toppings or condiments that we have added to the diet to supplement the traditional cleansing regimen. We want you to feel cleansed, renewed, nourished, and cared for.

There will be three meals a day: Breakfast at 7:30-8:30am, Lunch at 12:30-1:30pm, and Dinner at 5:45-6:45pm.

Due to COVID-19, we are shifting to compostable plates/utensils. But please do bring a reusable water bottle and mug for Yogi Tea & Golden Milk.

The Menu

Breakfast: A potato, celery, and onion soup is served with bananas and oranges on the side. Oatmeal is served for those who need a heartier and less “cleansing” type of breakfast.

Lunch: Quinoa tabouli, hummus, stuffed grape leaves, tortillas. A gluten free tortilla is available.

Dinner: Mung beans and rice with lettuce, steamed beets and carrots, and hot sauce served on the side. A special meal is served for dinner on the night before camp ends.

Yogi Tea: Yogi Tea, with one vegan option, will be served twice daily. There are also hot water and alternative Yogi Tea options provided all day long.

Water: Unlimited drinking water is provided onsite, so no need to bring your own!

Karma yoga is a practice of devotion and important to any yoga tradition. It stems from the Bhakti Yoga tradition. Our Solstice festivals are a blend of traditional yogic practices and new possibilities to awaken inspiration in your life. 

Seva or karma yoga, where you give and help others without thought of any “return” or “transaction” is an energy practice, like any kriya or meditation, with the power to transform the practitioner and the world. There are so many ways to practice — through random acts of kindness, volunteering your time, giving of your gifts in the ways that are right for you.

 It could be a smile, it could be an endowment. We respond to the world with an open heart and willingness to serve a greater good, to do what is needed. Solstice is an opportunity to experience the joy of service or Seva at the event by participating on a daily basis in helping with some of the basic needs of the event.

• All-Camp quiet hours are 9:45pm – 3:15am except in designated areas and with 3HO Administration approval. One of our top priorities is providing the opportunity for everyone to experience group Sadhana every morning in the Amrit Vela (the ambrosial hours between 3–7 am), so late night activities are limited. All music, evening activities, and the bazaar end by 9:30 pm, and lights out in the camp is at 10 pm.
• No firearms or weapons are allowed on the premises, including Conceal Carry of handguns. Kirpans are allowed.
• Please respect others’ boundaries and seek consent when looking to connect with others. This is an event for healing for many, and what each person needs for their healing is different. Asking for permission before seeking out a hug, emotional sharing or other intimate interaction shows your respect for the other person and makes the interaction that much more meaningful. Breaching of another’s personal boundaries is not acceptable at this event.

Every year we hire the Sheriff’s Department to provide onsite security at our event. In the case of an emergency, a reported theft or any other criminal activity we will report to the onsite deputy on duty. We also staff a volunteer security service exchange team that monitors the flow of traffic in and out of camp and roams the camp area and the bazaar. 3HO International is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Please secure valuables in your vehicle or keep them on your person in a small backpack during the day. We will do our utmost to help you recover lost or stolen property, but you are solely responsible for your own possessions, please keep this in mind when you are packing for the event.

We understand that computers and cell phones are part of the Aquarian Age. During the event we ask that you consider the sacred atmosphere we are creating at Solstice so please choose to be discreet about usage.

Phones: If you must use a cell phone, please use discretion. Reception at the Solstice site is reasonable but not excellent. We require that you please turn off your phones during workshops, classes, meditations.

3HO International encourages you to record your experiences at Solstice through filming and photography. We are happy for you to share your reflections of Solstice. We consider this to be a valuable way of communicating the joy and vibrancy of our community.

We also need your consent to share the words and images that our Photography Team records during the event. Please review the guidelines for Filming and Photography so that issues of privacy and copyright are well understood. You will be required to sign this consent and release/liability form at on-site registration.

Each year at the start of Solstice, the management team reviews an Emergency Incident Plan. We take this training annually to remind ourselves of the potential for fire or other incidents and how to respond and take care of the Solstice Community. The local Fire and Emergency Department is aware and alert to our event each year. As a participant, you contribute to fire safety by remembering that all personal fires and cook fires including candles, matches, cigarettes, incense, and other combustible materials are prohibited at Solstice events.

To maintain your meditative experience, please avoid going off-site. If you do need to go off-site, you must bring your Solstice badge which you will need to show to the Parking and/or Security Team when coming and going. Participants under the age of 18 cannot leave unless chaperoned by their parent or legal guardian. Note: This policy has been created for your safety and so that the Solstice team can be aware of who is on-site or off-site in the case of an emergency.

We have basic first-aid facilities at the campsite. An emergency hospital is approximately 40 minutes away. If you are on medication please make sure you bring an adequate supply with you. Please share your medication usage on your registration form in case we need to inform medics of what you need and continue with your medication use as prescribed by your doctor. Health professionals are available on site to provide basic first aid for simple medical situations. Please be certain to bring your proof of proper Medical Insurance or money in case of major medical emergency. If you have any specific concerns regarding how this activity may affect your health, please consult your physician before your program begins.
