The Art of Nish Hop (Healing Through Hip Hop Workshop)

The original "Healing Through Hip Hop" song production workshop for Native youth and young adults. Participants will create a 100% original song with Shibastik's help and guidance. They will learn how to make a beat using a drum machine and how to structure a song, as well as lyrical techniques and writing skills like multisyllabic rhyming, word play, metaphors and imagery. They will also experience the recording process and be given the opportunity to get on the microphone and speak their truth. This workshop is THERAPY as well as fun! Instruments of any kind are always welcome. Drums, rattles, flutes and traditional vocals always encouraged! Check out the videos we've produced!!

Fight Through the PAINt (Art Workshop/Therapy)

There are many healthy ways to fight through your pain, and painting is one of them. Expressing yourself and releasing your emotions through art can be very therapeutic, and is a healthy coping mechanism for stress, anger, and depression. Shibastik will work with participants to provide art instruction on composition, visual elements, acrylic paint application and techniques, as well as share stories and teachings on art as a healing tool and a weapon to help you fight off your fear, fight for a cause, or fight through your pain, no matter how deep the wound. Those who participate in this workshop will leave with new skills as artists, some of the weight released, and a fresh outlook on life. (Art pieces produced can range from small canvases to large murals)

Land Based Healing

Growing up in the isolated northern Mushkegowuk Cree communities of Moosonee and Moose Factory, Shibastik is an experienced hunter, fisherman, boatsman, and is most in his element when on a snow machine weaving through the vast frozen swamps of the James Bay Lowlands. With extensive knowledge of river and land navigation, traditional animal harvesting and survival tactics, Shibastik will host excursions and provide his own teachings as well as facilitate space for local elders and guides to address participants. (Boats/snow machines and local guides/elders must be provided)
