A more connected summer starts here!
Hey there fellow Guardian of the Galaxy,
Ever feel like summer break somehow manages to be both too much and not enough at the same time? Yeah, us too.
You’re not crazy for feeling a little burned out before it’s even mid-June. The pressure to plan “perfect memories” is real — but we’re hitting pause on that noise.
Today, we’re inviting you into a Solarpunk mindset — think of it like a lens where we notice beauty, center nature, lean into hope, and reconnect to what actually matters.
Try this: Sit down with your crew (bonus points for popsicles) and ask: "What kind of summer do we want to create together?"
Let each person say a word or feeling — then pick a family summer theme word that captures the vibe. (Ours is "flow" this year — more rhythm, less rushing.)
Sneak Peek: In the full Solarpunk Summer Planner, we’ve got a worksheet called “Our Family Values” that helps you do this and way more, without the overwhelm.
Quick Win Reflection: What’s your summer word? Hit reply to our Welcome Email and tell us — we’d love to hear.
Tomorrow’s about the little things — the everyday stuff that secretly becomes the most meaningful.
You’ve got this.
With love,
Ky & Ava
