Mind - Body Stress Buster Workshop at Wind River

1/6/2015

0 Comments

Over the past 8 years we have observed the power that comes when an individual is both motivated to participate in their own healing process AND when that same individual is properly armed with tools to better manage the physical and emotional challenges that come from living with cancer.

Wind River is leveraging its depth of talent to give you and your spouse or partner a chance to add to your "tool box" of "stress busters", and help you improve your coping skills and overall well-being.

The day will be filled with small experiential workshops and you will rotate from one session to another (think of mini samplers).  Together we will sample:

  • Breath-work and mindfulness exercises to lower stress during anxious times
  • Energy medicine to restore balance and harmonies in the body
  • Understanding how your brain works to improve communication (with doctors, spouses and yourself!)
  • Movement to activate your immune and natural healing system
