What is The Million Women Drummers Gathering 2013?
The Million Women Drummers Gathering 2013 (MWDG 2013) is a global celebration of individual and collective action, inspired and led by women drummers of world rhythm and music. The MWDG is a creative collaboration with our communities. It is a series of local and global drumming events to initiate Tree planting in communities around the world. Local events will lead up to a gathering of a million women drummers and kin in 2013. The MWDG is an invitation to conscious action and celebration, From Our Hearts and Hands To All Of Our Relations. (Full Vision)Where will The Million Women Drummers Gathering 2013 be located ?
The location of the Million Women Drummers Gathering 2013 will be announced at a later date.What is the connection of Trees to Drumming?
As women who love our drums, we are aware that Trees are cut to make our drums possible. We know that the quality of air, the health of our environment and our overall well-being depend upon living Trees. We express our gratitude for the wood of the drums we love, a gift from Mother Earth, by each of us planting a single Tree. Planting a million Trees worldwide increases the awareness of our symbiotic relationship with Trees, the lungs of our Mother Earth, and our love for these Trees that provide us with so much, including the drums for which we have such passion. A million women together can birth a forest of Trees for the health of our world, for a sustainable future for all our relations, and for the life force that comes alive through our Drums. One million Trees.. planted one by one.. One Woman, One Drum, One TreeIs the MWDG 2013 for women drummers only?
The Million Women Drummers Gathering 2013 is envisioned, seeded, cultivated and led by women drummers worldwide. The local events and The Gathering in 2013 are for all drummers, all members of our local and global communities, for all of our relations.When will the MWDG local events begin?
