This program brings three inspirational and entertaining authors/speakers together to address and perhaps transform the mind, body, and spirit of individuals, families, and friends living with cancer. It is undisputable that quality of life can be positively impacted when individuals are given an opportunity to deal with issues beyond the physical aspects of the disease process.
Through humor, stories and information our nationally recognized presenters will demonstrate that a full range of human potential is available to us all and can be directed towards healing.The goal of this program is to touch each attendee and bring a sense of hope and inspiration to live life fully today. CEU credit is offered.
