There will be a Drum Making Workshop as part of the National Overdose Awareness Day event, hosted by Wabanaki Public Health and Wellness and Maliseet Behavioral Health Services at the Maliseet Community Center on August 31, 2023 from 10AM-12PM.

Making a drum is a journey that is individually and spiritually meaningful.  The drum symbolizes the heartbeat of life and the heartbeat of community.  The drum is a tool for cleansing, centering and focusing one’s intentions for health and happiness.

The workshop is led by Mi’kmaq tribal elder, Norman Bernard, and only 30 spots are available.  Contact Julie Ivey at (207) 532-4229 to get signed up.
