Starting with a vision in 1995 to fill a yearning for people to come together and mark this important time of year the first celebration drew about thirty people. Last years concert brought over two hundred on a "musical spiritual journey into the darkness of the season and a joyous ascent back into the light" and generated about twenty five hundred meals for the Good Shepherd Food Bank.
Leah Wolfsong, founder of Roots Down Music, has her own musical roots in the contemporary music scene of the 80's and early 90's, performing with numerous rock bands until she felt the calling to write and perform songs that empowered women and men to explore their own spiritual aspirations and foster a sense of community. Leah is the musical director of a group of friends and community members know as The Circle Voice Singers. This rag tag collection of artists, mothers, teachers, laborers, people of all walks of life, come together to lift the spirits of their listeners and enjoy the fruits of being part of something creative, all with the light of love guiding them.
A ceremony that "left the commercialization of the holiday outside giving us an opportunity to focus on the ancient celebration of the Winter Solstice" is how one person described her experience. "People coming together as one to joyously celebrate the light." So goes another. And not only to celebrate the light. The chance to feed other members of the community through the Good Shepherd Food Bank. That is what fostering a sense of community can do.
