Third Space Opening Ceremony
Drumming Circle & Open House
We are honoured to open the doors of the New Pathways Third Space with a drumming circle ceremony. The drumming circle will be led by Veronica Johnny, an Indigenous Cree woman, ceremony leader, musician, hand drummer, and founder of Indigened, an Indigenous-led organization that provides education and guidance to communities and organizations seeking to become more informed, respectful allies.
This gathering is an opportunity to breathe life into the new space with ceremony, sound, and community. We will hold space for 20 participants in the circle to keep it intimate and intentional. Preregistration is required.
