Annual Wellness Retreat – honoring Mark Hollingsworth

Once a year, the Zaching Against Cancer Foundation offers an all day Wellness Retreat at Bon Secours Retreat and Conference Center. We start the day out with breakfast and art therapy.  Then the participants gather as a group and are instructed by a licensed meditation specialist on the benefits of meditation.  Next, we have demonstrations from licensed nutritionists on health promoting smoothies and juices as well as healing soups and broths.  After lunch, we move on to the Look Good, Feel Better part of the retreat where cancer patients are shown the best way to care for their skin during harsh cancer treatments.  Participants are also shown how to draw on eye brows and put on make-up to make themselves feel the best they can.  This section of the retreat is run by a licensed aesthetician and make-up artist.  Lastly, the group is presented with a Wellness Seminar focusing on toxin free products and tips to living a Wellness Lifestyle.
