Healing on the Water: Cancer Survivors’ and Caregivers Kayak Retreat

Saturday, September 3, 7:00a.m.-1:00 p.m.

Marywood Spirituality Center, Arbor Vitae

Facilitator: Author and Kayaker Mary Anne Smrz

“Change: Our Ever-Present Companion” is the theme of this retreat. Mary Anne takes cancer survivors and their caregivers on the water for a much-needed “pause,” to allow time and space to reconnect with self and nature and a chance to process things that have been buried beneath the surface of your life. Join her for a peaceful morning of healing on the water in the silence and solitude of your own kayak on beautiful Trout Lake.

This experience begins, Saturday, September 3, on the shores of Trout Lake at Marywood Spirituality Center. The $40 cost includes kayak rental, breakfast, snacks on the water, a journal, a copy of one of Mary Anne’s books on kayaking and life and lunch. Current and previous caregivers welcome. Registration limited to ten people. Retreat begins promptly at 7:00 a.m. and ends after lunch, approximately 1:00 p.m.

Registration is limited to 10 participants. For more information contact Grant at gvanlishout@fspa.org.
