In celebration of the Summer Solstice, Soultry Sisters presents the annual
Summer SOULstice Arts + Wellness Festival—a three-day immersive experience
uplifting BIPOC, women, and queer artists, wellness practitioners,
and culture bearers across San Diego.
​
Rooted in cultural heritage, community resilience, and holistic healing,
the festival highlights our local creative ecosystem while encouraging self-expression, skill-building, and exploration of healing practices rooted in diverse cultural traditions.
Centering art as a powerful tool for wellness, collective care, and Radical Re-Imagining, the festival invites community to gather, learn, and heal together.

Community Events
Personal Altars as Portals Workshop
Want a preview of this year's Summer SOULstice Festival theme?
Join us for a creative expression session exploring altar-making as a
practice of Radical Re-Imagining.
Together, we'll create mini altars or personal ritual tins—intimate portals for connection, healing, and transformation that you can return to in your daily life. Through crafting, storytelling, and creative expression, we'll tap into collective memory as a source of personal power and liberation. We'll also reflect on how everyday rituals can help build ecosystems of care and support sustainable change over time.
You'll leave with a handcrafted altar, new ritual practices, and a deeper sense of connection to yourself and community.

Join our Bayan Book Club! ​
​
We love reading books in community with you. Our goal for our book clubs is to choose books that promote soulcare & align with the work we do. The discussions are an opportunity for us to share our reflections and work through the book together. All are welcome — whether you’re reading along with us, are a fellow book enthusiast, or haven’t read yet and wanna join the discussion.
​
​
​Our Book Club Series is back!​
​
For the 3rd season, we’re featuring The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron — a powerful guide to unlocking creativity and nurturing your inner artist. This book is designed as a 12-week guided program. Each week focuses on a specific theme (like recovering a sense of safety, identity, power, possibility, etc.) and includes: a chapter to read, weekly exercises, check-ins, morning pages and artist dates!
​
This time around, we’ll be sharing the replays so you can move through the experience at your own pace. Tune in however you like — watch each episode like your favorite TV show or press play and listen like a podcast while you’re on the go.
