SUMMARY:Writing from the Heat III [Dempsey Connects]
DESCRIPTION:Research has shown that expressive writing can help improve quality of life for people living with cancer\, and doing so in a supportive community with others further enhances coping and resilience. Using therapeutic writing prompts we will explore journaling with the opportunity to share your writing with others through reading a selected piece (optional\, not required). No writing experience is required to join this 8-week series.\nWriting from the Heart III is appropriate both for those who have previously participated in “Writing from the Heart” and those who have not. The content and prompts are new and distinct from those offered in “Writing from the Heart I and II\, with a greater selection of poems incorporated.\n \nOpen to adult Dempsey Center clients with a cancer diagnosis at any stage and care partners.\n \nLed by Kerry Irish\, LCSW\, OSW-C\, FAOSW.

SUMMARY:Gong Bath Meditation [Rock Row]
DESCRIPTION:Step into a steeping of sound and allow the resonance of the gongs wash over you. This gong wash offers a deeply meditative experience as the vibrations of the gong work beyond the mind\, gently guiding the nervous system into a state of balance and restoration. As the sound flows through the body\, many experience:\n• Deep relaxation and stress release\n• Support for emotional release and energetic clearing\n• Improved sleep and mental clarity\n• Activation of the body’s natural healing response\n• A sense of grounding\, peace and expanded awareness\nNo effort is required – simply sit or lie down\, breathe\, and receive. The sound will meet you exactly where you are.\n \nPlease note\, during this session you will be laying on yoga mats.\n\nOpen to adult Dempsey Center clients.\n\nLed by Doris Hall\, Sound Healing Practitioner.
