Sound Bath: Fundraiser for Maine Access Points
with Vanessa Bresson

Our mission is to recognize the resiliency of people who use drugs and to work in collaboration to create access points for overdose prevention and harm reduction services in Maine.

A message from MAP about the fundraiser:

Underlying the harm reduction movement is the belief that all people have the innate ability to heal, wherever they are starting from. 

Too often the dominant wellness culture seems to subtly communicate that healing practices are mainly for people who are already more or less well. You must be *this* flexible to benefit at all from yoga, you must be able to sit still without fidgeting for *this* long to gain anything from practicing meditation. Sometimes these spaces function to preserve the comfort and sense of superiority of the privileged rather than bringing needed peace to people who are grieving, struggling, and in true need of nervous system support.

We are so grateful to be part of this collaboration between Vanessa and Electric Cottage Collective, and for the opportunity to bring the gift of sound healing to our community.

If you use drugs,

If you love someone who uses drugs,

If you've lost someone who used drugs,

This space is for you.

We will have free naloxone kits and fentanyl test strips available for anyone who would like them. If you would like to know more about our services, Oliver, our Director of Community Engagement, will be available after the sound bath.
