Summer in Richmond can feel heavy, even when the sun starts to sink lower in the sky. The air stays thick, sleep does not feel as deep, and it is easy to feel worn out from months of activity, social plans, and heat. Many people notice more tension, less patience, and a sense that their inner world feels as hot and sticky as the weather outside.

Early summer in Richmond can feel both beautiful and a little intense. The days stretch longer, the air grows heavier, and social plans start to fill the calendar. While part of you may want to be out at every gathering, another part might be craving quiet evenings, deeper sleep, and a calmer belly.
