Nurture Your Body, Calm Your Mind, and Reconnect with Your Spirit
Hello There. I am Denise Druce, and I am Thriving with Stage Four Cancer. This has been a 10-Year journey for me. My mentor encourages me to “go to my wounds to find where I am called to serve”. I have been afraid and hesitant to step into the cancer community, but I am finally ready to hold shared space with others who are also walking this path. I am so excited to invite you to Thriving With Cancer: a Healing Yoga Retreat and celebration of the beginning of Spring.
