#TRASHTAGDMB
a partner initiative between Ryoko Suzuki - Holistic Healing & Wellness and DMB Fit Crew
DMB Fit Crew is all about philanthropic fitness:
Reaching individual wellness goals through habits and behaviors that build a community
and leave the world better than we found it.
Philanthropy doesn't always mean giving money; we can also give our time, our support, our energy.
The #trashtagDMB initiative is all about putting forth an EFFORT to influence our DMB family in specific ways that make change for the better. While we are doing the things we love, we show love to the planet.
"Create environments where we become healthier." -Dave Matthews
The Story
In December of 2022, Ryoko partnered with DMB Fit Crew to offer a 3-week Stress Buster series during that busy time of year. 12 participants came together to share in the lessons, wisdom, and practice Ryoko offers. This group emanated the spirit of the Fit Crew as a whole and experienced profound peace, love, and camaraderie during our three weeks together.
​
Ryoko shared many meaningful gifts with us, including #trashtagDMB. She participates in a #trashtag in her neighborhood and discovered an opportunity to do more good for the planet through our group.
​
We were reminded that we are influencers. We influence each other every day by sharing our goals, struggles, successes, challenges, support, and encouragement. Our group is what it is because of the healthy habits and behaviors of each active member.
​
Ryoko's instincts are so right. Let's take that loving influence we have on each other and direct it toward our DMB fan family as a whole. We have the opportunity to encourage thousands of people to show our planet love while we do the things we love most, including dancing to DMB together.
