Musician Kenneth Brian throws a stone in the water, which symbolically carried away all that was not wanted, to enter the summer season free of winter's darkness.

 On the first day of summer, coach and healer Alejandra DeLuca, who leads a mediation class every Wednesday evening at Malibu Health Club, held a ‘Manifesting Success and Wellness’ class at Surfrider Beach. 

Every student received a stone — they were to place all they didn’t want or need, thoughts or feelings that could be holding them back, into it. The stone was then tossed into the ocean — a symbolic gesture of letting go of the winter darkness and letting in the light of summer, for healing and joy. 

Singer/songwriters Tamarind Free Jones and Kenneth Brian — of the Kenneth Brian Band — performed at the end of the meditation. 

DeLuca brought a flower for each student to complete the ritual for the evening. 

“The flowers are a symbol of growth and blossoming. They also represent the earth and the sun that give our bodies life. We projected our goals, intentions and wishes for us and for others on these flowers and let them go, offering them to Earth, the Sun and all of creation,” DeLuca explained. “In order to manifest things, we need to also let them go. We trust the universe to support us in manifesting our heart’s desires — As we give, we shall receive.” 

The sky turned many shades of pink and purple, while students enjoyed the warm summer evening, the longest day of the year.
