Create with words and share with a supportive group of CSC participants who have been affected by cancer. Facilitated by Marianne Rosenthal, M.A.T. This month's focus will involve the topic of moving beyond cancer through a journey into the art and craft of writing. We will experience the therapeutic benefits of writing as related to right brain exercises to stimulate creativity. Writers may choose to write about their cancer experience, or not.
