~ Deep Winter Song 2016 ~
            A Mystical Evening of Music and Story           <IMG ALT="Winter Solstice Swirl" SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/4437245/wintersolstice.jpg"> WHEN: Sunday, December 18th, 2016 - 7:30pm music starts, doors open at 7pm. WHERE: Centre For Spiritual Living- 7621-101 Ave. Edmonton, Alberta.
Deep Winter Song is an "acoustic" musical presentation exploring and celebrating the Mystery of the Winter Solstice, Christmas, and this wondrous dark season of winter. The night will include traditional and modern songs of winter, inspiring stories & poetry, angelic voices, inspiring words, delightful and mystical moods, laser starlight, beautiful projections, a time of Sacred Sound Journey, and a Solstice fire ritual. CONTEXT There is a subtle aspect of the dark winter season and the Solstice/Christmas/Holiday season which lends itself to reflection on darkness, stillness, AND celebration steeped in a sense of mystery and magic. At this time of year, and in this event, we engage and uplift the “positive” and healthy side of Christmas- the energy of gifting, holding each other more in our thoughts, coming together in generosity and anticipation of magical unfoldings. As we move beyond the grip of consumerism, it is a time to let the playful part of ourselves emerge and to open the Heart's imagination to everyday miracles. It is from this context that we offer inspiration and grounding, presenting an uplifting evening of warmth, music and story, which serves to enrich a sense of the sacred, of wholesome celebration, light-heartedness, enjoyment, and depth of Heart within this busy and sometimes challenging month of December. We sincerely hope that you will come and share with us in the music and depth of this season. ... PERFORMERS include all local musicians, sound artists, singer-songwriters, dancers, and storytellers. Alana Levandoski, Martin Kerr, Carrie Day, rEvolve (Gord Oaks, Josh McHan, Chris Giffen), Marcus Fung, Keri Lynn Zwicker, Raydel Martinez Portuondo, Waymatea Ellis, Nathalie Jackson, and special guests. Performance will begin at 7:30pm going until 9:30pm. Doors open for seating at 7:00pm. A time of sharing Holiday cheer, Wassail and Mulled Cider, as well as delicious culinary delights will follow the presentation, as well as a chance to meet the performers and browse their CD recording offerings. A compassionate gifting table display will also be present as an option for Christmas gifts that make a difference in the  lives of people in need.
