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.

National Autism Awareness Month
Autism Awareness Month is a time to celebrate and honor the incredible individuals on the autism spectrum while acknowledging the unique challenges they face. It’s an opportunity to deepen our understanding, support their needs, and create a more inclusive world where people on the spectrum feel empowered and accepted. This month encourages everyone to reflect on how we can all contribute to fostering empathy, inclusion, and empowerment for those with autism.
