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:
Saturday February 7, 2015

At Wind River ( Tryon, NC)
No charge. Sponsored by Wind River Cancer Wellness Retreats & Programs
