Refund and Event Policies

Mindfulness and self-compassion can be invaluable tools for navigating the challenges of cancer. A growing body of cancer research has demonstrated that practicing mindfulness has shown improvements in fatigue, sleep, anxiety, depression, and overall quality of life. Mindfulness can help calm the mind, relax the body and cultivate inner balance. Enjoy the peace and power of taking a day to practice in community:

*Opening to the fullness of life as it unfolds moment by moment
*Seeing ourselves and others through the eyes of loving-kindness and compassion
* Sharing experiences
* Transforming the narrative
* Cultivating and building resilience

Please bring a lunch. There is a small refrigerator and microwave on site.
There are also a few restaurants nearby.
