The Qalipu First Nation is starting a new series of wellness workshops in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador, to help residents focus on their personal well-being. The first session will teach participants how to make traditional medicine pouches on April 1, 2026.
This event is organized by the nation’s mental wellness team and will take place at the Qalipu Community Room located at 1 Church Street. The workshop is set to run from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
According to the Qalipu First Nation, the program is designed to use cultural activities to support mental health and self-care. By creating a medicine pouch, participants can connect with traditional practices while learning about healthy ways to look after themselves.
The workshop series is part of an effort to include spiritual and cultural traditions in local health and social services. The organizers aim to promote education and active living by using hands-on arts and traditional knowledge to support community members.
