DRUMMING 4THE ANCESTORS 2018
Drumming4theAncestors is an event designed to bring knowledge and awareness of the African Ancestors who paved the way for all of humanity. From Africa through the Middle Passage, all the way to the United States, we have a story. The story needs to be forever told and our Ancestors need to be revered. We must never forget their courage, their hurts, their pains, their perseverance, and their strength. Our children need to be educated; they need to understand and experience parts of our cultural heritage, like the sound and use of the drum. There must be education of the treatment of people of color then and now. We must breathe life into the story's that are so sacred to our being, for the sake of both the young and old. The African drum is connective; it invigorates, heals, cleanses, and raises vibrations. So come and bring your families (youth and elders); bring your drums and lawn chairs; bring your stories of culture; your poetry; your song and dance while we embrace the Ancestral Spirits of those who are with us and those who have departed.
This year Dharma Healing & Wellness, LLC has partnered with IAAM (Institute of African American Mindfulness) of Washington DC to bring you a total retreat experience. IAAM is in direct alignment with Dharma Healing & Wellness as they both aim to assist people who are seeking or inadvertently drawn to lifestyle change, empowerment, meditation and overall balance. We will offer a beautiful arrangement of activities that will lead up to the finale; Drumming4theAncestors.
