Super excited to share our mushroom log making workshop again at Wind River.  The air was crisp and filled with survivor laughter and giggles as we talked about impregnating log with mushroom spores!  Cheryl Lecroy and Dave Pschirer explained about the mighty mushrooms power on our bodies for healing, the resiliency of the mushroom itself and much more. Then folks got to work on their logs.  Wood ships flying everywhere!!!

We had first-timers to Wind River and "old" timers to show them the ropes!  Lunch and time by the creek and fire, were, yep, a dash of Wind River magic.

Thank you all for sharing your hearts!

... couldn't make it?   We cannot inoculate logs all year-round (it is a seasonal thing) but Forest Bathing (aka personal time by the creek) is available now.  Register Here - Forest Bathing. And if you cannot make those date, no problem, we will gladly work with you on a more convenient date!  We believe in flexibility and spontaneous living!   April and May is the best time to get away and just be!

YOU ARE NOT ALONE - Moving Forward Together

​We wanted to share information on the North Carolina Cancer Survivorship Summit.  This year’s summit is FREE and will be 100% virtual. 

The North Carolina Cancer Survivorship Summit brings together cancer survivors, cancer patients and caregivers to share their experiences, learn the latest cancer treatments, research, and psychosocial issues, learn self-advocacy skills, and enhance the empowerment of survivors throughout their lives.
​
The Summit help survivors feel more in control of their life, make informed decisions about care, find treatment options suitable for each individual, build confidence to face the challenges ahead, sustain relationships with others, and feel hopeful and apply lessons learned to their daily life. The N.C. Cancer Survivorship Summit is for patients/survivors and caregivers only.
