Drumming held for the horses

According to the organisers, these special drumming events bring in some financial support at the same time as they allow the centre and the horses to shake things up in a very good way.

 

Dark clouds and a promise of rain did not halt the drumming for horses fundraiser event on Saturday, October 2 at The EARTH Centre.

This time of the year The Earth Centre and Harmonics host the spring part of the biannual fundraising drumming event.

Attendees played their provided drum and danced into the new season in celebration of the horses, who bring such vital therapies to the community.

Harmonics facilitated the drumming into the sunset while attendees where at ease around a fire and re-connected with The EARTH Centre, and the community that has grown around it.

According to the organisers, these special drumming events bring in some financial support at the same time as they allow the centre and the horses to shake things up in a very good way.

The event is hosted every Equinox to draw attention to, as well as to honour the transformative effects that come with the Sun’s travels back over the Equator, and the changing of the seasons this brings – for the land, for people, for the herd and all life.

The EARTH Centre is an NPC with dedicated staff who work diligently to maintain the well-being of their horses and the children with special needs they support.

Funding the centre is a full-time endeavour that needs constant attention and much support from the community.
