Art Therapy sessions are sponsored by Stoddard Cancer Center as part of the Charlie Cutler Healing and Wellness Program. This series is intended for cancer patients and survivors.

Each session will offer a different media and theme. The time together will encourage self-reflection and introspection, exploring one's own thoughts, emotions and personal narrative of cancer. This expansion of self-awareness brings a stronger foundation, resilience and personal growth.

Sam Erwin, MS, MA, ATR is an art therapist and spiritual director. She is invited to classrooms, conferences, retreats and small groups as a speaker and facilitator. She presently is contracted with Broadlawns, Iowa Lutheran Hospital and Stoddard Cancer Center for inpatient, outpatient and substance abuse art therapy.

Max 15 participants, so please register early.
