Performers spanning all 20 years of the event are featured the final Winter SolstiCelebration. This year it falls on the Winter Solstice associated with the Mayan calendar end. The tradition comes to an end as well in 2012 as the creator, Amy Martin, retires after two decades of producing live spiritual events.<\/p>\n

Winter SolstiCelebration leaves behind a spiritual landscape in North Texas deeply shaped by the event. It provided a vital place at the table during the holiday season for the spiritual-not-religious and those of non-mainstream faiths.<\/p>\n

The event will end as it began two decades ago with a few dozen folks in a rented building on White Rock Lake \u2013 with the beat of the drum and the words of a poet.<\/p>\n

The non-profit group Earth Rhythms has presented the event since 2007, replacing Celestial Rhythm Celebrations. Earth Rhythms plans to continue its successful series of spiritual music concerts and outdoor festivals based at White Rock Lake with Martin as president emeritus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
