Honoring the National Day of Rest for Black Women Today, we pause to recognize the importance of rest, healing, and rejuvenation for Black women. It's a day to acknowledge the strength, resilience, and contributions of Black women, while also creating space for them to prioritize their well-being. We celebrate their achievements, amplify their voices, and support their need for rest. #NationalDayofRest #BlackWomen #SelfCare #RestIsResistance #HonorBlackWomen

Join us on March 2nd at 4 PM to 5 PM for Gentle Yoga! Gentle Yoga focuses on deep breathing to relax the body, gently opening pathways to support all systems in the body (circulatory, nervous system, lymphatic, digestive, etc.). Breath, relaxation, movement, and being in community all serve to bring about a sense of calm and in turn, healing.

Research shows that joining a support group improves quality of life and survival. For example, support groups can help you feel better, give you a chance to talk about your feelings and work through them, help you deal with practical problems (like problems at work or school), and even help you cope with the side effects of treatment. WCRC offers support and compassionate cancer care for all! Learn more at www.wcrc.org

Join us IN PERSON on March 5 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm for a cooking class designed to celebrate the fresh flavors of spring while supporting your healing journey.

You’ll leave with simple, delicious recipes that are easy to prepare, full of springtime goodness, and designed to nourish both body and soul.
