-----------------------------------------------
Winter SolstiCelebration
-----------------------------------------------
Our flagship project is Winter SolstiCelebration, a multicultural interfaith exploration of the regenerative grace of darkness and the redemptive power of light. The event is a powerful montage of song, ceremony, music, ritual, poetry, spoken word and dance. It is followed by a Yule fest with a snack feast, roving characters, photos with Father Winter, peace activities, and a dance band. The night includes a large silent auction bazaar as a primary fundraiser for Earth Rhythms. Over 16 years old and attended by over 1000, it is the second largest Winter Solstice celebration in the nation.
-----------------------------------------------
Earth Rhythms Presents
-----------------------------------------------
Though one of the largest cities in the nation, Dallas receives few visits from national alternative spiritual musicians and presenters. They’ll frequently perform in smaller cities on the coasts and other areas seen as ‘hip, ’ while bypassing the North Texas area.
We decline to be seen as flyover territory anymore. In the early 1980s a nonprofit group called TITAS began bringing in non-mainstream music and dance into Dallas. Because of TITAS, groups like the Kodo Drummers, now sell out multiple-night engagements, broadening the cultural mindset of North Texas.
Earth Rhythms Presents plans to do for alternative spirituality what TITAS did for music and dance. Potential musicians include chantress Deva Premal and Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai. On the list of potential presenters are Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Han, pagan activist Starhawk and eco-Christian Matthew Fox.
-----------------------------------------------
Moonlady Fests
-----------------------------------------------
Moonlady Fest - rhythmic fun, mystic insight and a world of performance – is held on a weekend close to spring or fall equinox.
The alternative festival happens all over the historic art deco Bath House Cultural Center on the shore of White Rock Lake. Inside the theatre is an eclectic performance revue The lobby percolates with the vegetarian Crosby Café and a henna tattoo artist. A movement meditation class convenes in the art gallery. The New Thought/Ancient Wisdom fair takes place in the lobby and outside on the front porch and spacious back patio overlooking the lake. A drum jam occurs outside in the intimate stone amphitheater and a seasonal ceremony is held beneath the huge live oak trees.
-----------------------------------------------
And the Rest
-----------------------------------------------
Earth Rhythms plans to preserve open space by acquiring rural land for contemplative nature preserves. Also advocated are the creation of green cemeteries for eco-burials that forgo chemical embalming fluids, synthetic caskets and the high-energy demands of cremation.
We aim to provide limited financial support in times of need to members of the community who are facing emergency situations and provide microloans for small business assistance.
