BACK TO THE BONES:
A CONCERT FOR THE SEASON OF HALLOWEEN
Join Ruth for an entertaining and informative concert program of traditional Celtic and original folk music and lore, poetry and song, celebrating the holiday and season of Samhain (All Hallows Eve). Halloween, is the closing of the agricultural year of northern Europe. In earlier times and continuing today are customs of veneration of departed ancestors and beloved dead, remembering the victims of the witchcraft persecutions, divination for the New Year, and preparations for the arrival of Winter.
SPIRIT OF SOLSTICE CONCERT
Celebrating the Goddesses of Winter
Join Ruth for a magical evening program of seasonal Celtic and original folk music and lore, poetry and song celebrating the Goddesses of Winter. Winter Solstice marks the conception of the solar cycle inviting us to come into resonance with the rebirth of Spirit within the land and her people while the Earth rests and waits for renewal in its time. For our ancestors and still today, Solstice is a time of faith and hope, of drawing together in the darkness for comfort and support, to strengthen our inner light, and to vision together for a year of peace, healing, prosperity, and joy for all.
