Forest Moon: Celebrating Cancer Survivorship is hosting a
Renewing the Spirit Retreat for Women with Cancer. The free
retreat will take place at The Cupola, a studio in Killington, on
Saturday, October 6, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is open to women
who have received a cancer diagnosis and an accompanying female
family member or friend. Women may come by themselves or bring
a female loved one with them.
Renewing the Spirit provides a special time and place for
self-exploration, connection, and healing. In the company of
other women, participants learn tools to bring balance to their
lives. Some of the activities include: relaxation
techniques, creative arts, and adaptive yoga. Additionally a free
nutritious lunch will be prepared and served for participants to
enjoy.
The retreat will be facilitated by Ellen Fein. Fein is a
licensed clinical social worker, registered yoga teacher and cancer
survivor. Combining mind/body techniques, counseling,
coaching, and yoga, Fein works as a Cancer Coach in central Vermont
supporting individuals whose lives are touched by cancer.
Taylor Glaze, owner of The Cupola and former restaurant owner
and chef, will prepare a healthy lunch for all.
The retreat is sponsored in part by a grant from The Vermont/New
Hampshire Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Forest Moon, a Brattleboro-based nonprofit organization founded
by a Vermont cancer survivor, provides support programs to the
cancer community, and has served over 900 individuals since
