SUMMARY:Fall Wellness Retreat: Before + After [Rock Row]
DESCRIPTION:Many people impacted by cancer can define a clear ‘before’ and ‘after’; the pivotal moment when cancer entered your life.

Both fine and gross motor skills will be employed during this activity as we engage in expressive arts and gentle movement.\n\nLed by Erin King\, Tricia Gilbert\, Liz Como and Michelle Hayes.\n\nOpen to adult Dempsey Center clients.
