Holistic’s Cultural Calendar
Holistic’s Cultural Calendar was created in an effort to raise awareness for cultural celebrations and recognize the individuals whose identities are tied to these important observances, especially those who belong to underrepresented communities.
For each of the events listed on the calendar, you will also find suggestions for ways that your organization can actively make an impact and foster inclusion throughout the month. Whether this means trying a new cuisine, pledging a donation as a company, or facilitating discussions, we hope you will be able to learn and partake in new events and affinity months! Keep in mind dates and observances when you are scheduling meetings and other team events; you never know what one of your coworkers may observe.
Each event on our calendar will have an action item or two for ways that you can foster inclusion or make an impact.

Highlights of the Month
Women's History Month
Celebrated each year in March, Women's History Month honors the significant contributions of women throughout history in various fields, including politics, science, art, literature, and social justice. This observance aims to highlight the often overlooked or underrepresented achievements of women, recognizing their pivotal roles in shaping society. Rooted in International Women's Day on March 8, Women's History Month serves as a platform to raise awareness about gender equality and the ongoing struggles women face globally. Through education, events, and community outreach, the month encourages a deeper appreciation for women's contributions and promotes the continued fight for women's rights and empowerment.
The theme for Women's History Month 2025 is "Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations." This theme highlights the pivotal roles women have played in education, mentorship, and leadership, emphasizing their collective strength in shaping society.
Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr, celebrated in 2025 on March 30 or March 31, marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. The exact date depends on the lunar calendar and the sighting of the new moon. The festival is a time of gratitude, joy, and unity, as Muslims come together to give thanks for the strength shown during Ramadan and to break their month-long fast with loved ones. The day is marked by communal prayers, feasts, the giving of charity (Zakat al-Fitr), and visiting family and friends. Eid al-Fitr emphasizes reflection, renewal, and expressing generosity, both spiritually and socially.
“We must stand together united in solidarity against the targeting, demonization, and vilification of any group of people.”
