The Power of Drumming

Feeling energized, connected, and uplifted was the overwhelming response at Arborstone Enhanced Care in Halifax, N.S., during an African drumming workshop led by Drum Against Malaria for Black History Month/African Heritage Month. Residents, team members, and families eagerly joined in, filling the room with joyful, grounding rhythms as facilitators shared their mission of using music and community to support emotional wellbeing. The session left an unforgettable reminder of music’s power to heal, inspire, and bring people together.
