This workshop will delve into self care - for the care giver. The well being of a care giver must come from within. The drum is a natural healing instrument that reaches us inside. During this workshop, we will discuss self care through the actual creation of a drum, the concepts of wellness through Culture and Identity and being proud of - who you perceive yourself as. The workshop will be conducted as the drum is constructed and opportunities to share concepts of wellness with one another will be explored.
Learning Objectives:
1. Understanding ourselves through our own lens and definition
2. Utilizing a Natural Helper to teach us to feel Naturally Well
3. Sharing our stories and concepts to the path to wellness
4. Construction of a Healing Instrument
