Earth Day Celebration

Drumming Meditations for the Earth and Humanity

Facilitated by Dee DiGioia | Mindful Kindful YOUniversity

Gather with us under the open sky, around the warmth of a campfire, as we celebrate Earth Day through rhythm, reflection, and community. Feel the pulse of life as we drum together in harmony with the heartbeat of the Earth. Drumming is one of the oldest forms of meditation known to humanity.

WHEN: 5:00 - 7:00pm (7:00 - 8:00 optional)

(You are welcome to stay an extra hour from 7:00-8:00 as we let the fire burn out and enjoy conversation, quiet play, or quiet contemplation.)

PLEASE arrive early enough so that we can begin promptly. This is a structured event.

Drumming & Rhythm Exploration

This guided drumming experience invites you to awaken your spirit, explore creative expression, and come into coherence with the natural rhythms of life. No prior drumming experience is needed—everyone is welcome! This is a space for free exploration, without pressure or perfection.

As we co-create rhythms together, we will let the energy flow, allowing the "song" to guide us naturally into meditative stillness. In these sacred moments of silence, we invite reflection, prayer, or quiet communion with nature, carrying the gift of rhythm deep into our hearts.

This circle will have a slightly different progression than our regular "Joyful Rhythms" Drum Circles and will likely include vocal toning and singing as well— inviting us to dive deeply into meditation rhythms, harmonies, and inner exploration, with the Earth and nature supporting us.

The Science & Spirit of Rhythm

Scientific research increasingly validates what ancient cultures have long known: drumming, song, and collective rhythm uplift our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.  Drumming connects us—to ourselves, to one another, and to the natural world.

Earth Day 2025 Theme: "Our Power, Our Planet"
This year’s global theme calls for unity in the transition to renewable energy, aiming to triple the generation of clean electricity by 2030. We join this movement through the power of rhythm, raising our collective energy in gratitude for the Earth and our shared commitment to a sustainable future.

Come celebrate, connect, and take inspired action through the universal language of rhythm. Let’s drum for the Earth, for healing, and for each other.
