welcome!
Welcome to the Mudder’s Day website. As you can see, we are always working on it, so keep checking in!
Mudder’s Day: a celebration honoring local plants, earth, and mothers is a new make-yar-own-festival on Mother’s Day in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This year it be will on May 11th in the Halifax Central North Common, beside the playground, on top of (the culverted) Freshwater Brook.
The intention of the festival is to strengthen our social fabric, show everyone (including ourselves) that the paradigm shift is happening, support the rooted ones, honor Mother Earth, honor our cultural heritages and mothers, and have a good laugh.
The festival, so far, will consist of three yurts, live music & dancing, workshops, art, childcare, food and craft vendors, speakers, and a whole bunch of great people. We encourage you to participate in whatever way you fancy (as long as you are coming in the spirit of giving and goodness, with respect, and a sense of humor).
You can just come; you can set up a table (or blanket -either way, bring your own) with information; sell some handmade stuff; bring provocative, inspiring, educational art to decorate the Common; do a workshop; dance, theatre, juggle, spin fire; anything!
Of course, we -the ever-growing, ad hoc group of organizers- could totally use your help too. If you want to help pull off this community magic, just send us an email and we will weave you in (info at muddersday dot com).
More to come soon… Resistance is fertile
Hi,
Well, this sounds exciting!
You know, sometimes chaos is good!
In any event, humour does often go along with chaotic stuff.
I think I shall make an appearance with my book, Black Spirit: The Way of the Crow. If things are too chaotic, I may simply sit in a tree and sell the book from there — afterall, crows love trees.
All the best,
