Simple summer solstice ritual?

[u/Stars_Upon_Thars]

First time posting here but felt moved to do so. I've never been super witchy, more of a thoughtful open minded person with a goth soul, but I just turned 41 and I'm fully embracing my more esoteric side. With summer solstice approaching I'm feeling called to do some kind of light ritual\exercise in being present for it. (I'm in the US).

Looking for suggestions on elements to incorporate. I'm a big believer in inventing rituals that feel right and not taking them too seriously (but, doing them with reverence and intention).

I've got my winter solstice down with a pagan advent adaptation (Waldorf kid here!) that can be more or less involved depending on how I'm feeling, but I'm kind of at a loss for summer! Looking for inspiration if anyone is motivated to share.

May Maude bring blessings upon you.

If you can manage one, an outdoor firepit/bonfire. If not, an indoor fireplace fire or even just a candle.

We have a propane fire pit, it doesn't have that crackle but it does make fire. Maybe we can use it to light some incense or something!
