WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH
There have been many influential women throughout history. While women's history has often been ignored or even erased over the centuries, many women have made huge impacts on society through activism, art, politics and leadership. Women's History Month— observed annually in the month of March — is a perfect occasion to discover the achievements of outstanding women like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Frida Kahlo, Maya Angelou, Maria Curie, Ida, B Wells, Ada Lovelace, Gloria Steinem, Sojourner Truth, Katherine Johnson, Mary Tape, Maggie Lena Walker and many more
ST. PATRICK'S DAY
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated annually on March 17th, the anniversary of his death in the fifth century. St. Patrick’s Day 2023 will take place on Friday, March 17th. The Irish have observed this day as a religious holiday for over 1,000 years. On St. Patrick’s Day, which falls during the Christian season of Lent, Irish families would traditionally attend church in the morning and celebrate in the afternoon. Lenten prohibitions against the consumption of meat were waived and people would dance, drink and feast on the traditional meal of Irish bacon and cabbage.
WORLD MUSIC THERAPY DAY
World Music Therapy Day is celebrated on March 1 every year and is a day for people worldwide to celebrate the healing power of music. Music Therapy uses music to reduce stress and improve mood and self-expression through listening, singing, playing instruments, or composing music. Playing music can help to re-establish and re-balance our circadian, physiological, and psychological internal rhythms because our brains subconsciously respond to the sound patterns, trying to predict the music. This encourages our internal rhythms to re-establish themselves and harmonize with the rhythm of the music.
