Art and Cancer at WCRC
Creativity, Healing and Wholeness: Written and Visual
Journaling as a Path Through Cancer
Creativity, our innate birthright, can facilitate healing
and wholeness at many levels. Written and visual art practices
have been a mainstay through challenges as "opportunities"
in my life, including cancer. Participate in simple creative
processes that can become both a release and guide through
your healing journey. No art-making experience necessary.
Tuesday, March 30, 7 - 8:30 PM at WCRC
Space is limited to 12 people. Please call Elizabeth Forrest
