Summer Solstice: Threshold of Radiance | Celtic Wheel of The Year

You've been the strong one for so long you've forgotten what it feels like to be held. And your body is starting to keep score. Sound familiar?

In Episode 4 of The Soul's 8 Thresholds of Transformation, Nina Hirlaender OFS takes you to St Michael's Mount off the coast of Cornwall, where the land itself asks you a pointed question: Are you shining, or are you burning out? This is the Summer Solstice threshold — the place where your full visibility, leadership, and power either become sustainable or consume you. Drawing on the theology of Julian of Norwich, the calm authority of Archangel Michael, and a story from a pilgrim named Margaret who realized she'd been "fighting like she was afraid she'd lose," Nina offers a grounded path to radiance that includes receiving, not just giving. You'll leave with a five-minute practice that trains your nervous system to hold power without strain.

What You'll Learn:

• Why your success feels hollow when your body is running on adrenaline and your joy has quietly disappeared.
• The moment on St Michael's Mount that shows you exactly how you approach every challenge in your life
• What Julian of Norwich understood about power and tenderness that most modern leaders get dangerously wrong
• A five-minute practice that rewires your nervous system to hold visibility without gripping
• The one shift that turns overgiving from a fear response into genuine, sustainable strength
