In Loving Memory....Pat McKinney

Pat McKinney touched many lives. She was the Cancer Nurse Navigator for many Wind River alums, and the person who first told me about Wind River as I sat in that red faux-leather chair in my oncologist's office receiving my first dose of chemo. Pat handed me a postcard and said, "I think you should look into going to a retreat here. I hear they do wonderful things and I know it will be perfect for you."

Pat worked closely with cancer survivors in and around Charlotte. I remember her telling me to "Connect with Laura Reneger. She's an amazing person -- very positive!" (She was right!) Pat always encouraged her patients to be active in their survivorship. "The more involved you are, the better your outcomes," she used to say. She was always there for me any time I was scared, or worried about a test result. She didn't just care about our physical well-being -- but our spiritual and emotional well-being as well. I used to thank her all the time for being there to "talk me in off the ledge" when I would wake up in the middle of the night drenched in worry.

Pat was a beautiful light for so, so many people. She was kind, smart, funny and filled with Faith. I miss Pat but I know that she is at peace. Her kindness and amazing spirit lives on in all of those that she touched in her life....especially all of us in the Wind River Family.

10/1  3pm - 5pm 

Join Cara Truitt of 'Art of You' and Wind River for an intimate Women's Qoya Movement & Drum Circle.

Qoya is movement as medicine. It is based on the principle that through movement we remember. We remember that as women our essence is wise, wild and free. In Qoya, movement is focused on how it feels, not on how it looks.

In this class, we will be moving and drumming with the theme of self-love. Women 18 yrs & up only. All fitness levels are welcome. Come to connect with your Wind River Community and grow in your self-love.   

AUDIENCE: Open to Survivors and ALL Wind River Friends!
LOCATION: Hive Design, 127 West Main Ave. Gastonia, NC

hosted by Andrea Buschur

Thursday November 16th
7 - 8:30pm

Do you feel stressed out by money?   This seminar takes a unique look at the struggle people have around money and it's meaning in their lives by uncovering the role that it has played throughout their life.  Especially during times of medical stress. We will work through not only the financial implications that a major medical event brings to a financial life but also the physical implications that the stress of money brings. 

LOCATION:  Charlotte 

Andrea, licensed Financial Advisor for over 20 years and a 200 hour certified yoga instructor.
