Ben's Healing Circles: Writing Our Way Toward Healing
March 25, 2026 at 6:30pm
Join us for our first Healing Circle, exploring creative writing as a pathway to healing. Patients, survivors, caregivers, and anyone navigating illness or a personal healing journey will pause, reflect, and reconnect through story. This Circle will be guided by Valeria L.
