Self-Care Day for Caregivers and Survivors  

Presented by the Cultural Center of Cape Cod on Saturday, February 18, from 9:30am-3:30pm. (The day following National Care-Givers Day).

Self-Care is an important part of keeping ourselves healthy- mentally, physically and spiritually. Caregivers, whether in a health profession, education field, or taking care of a loved one in need, often don’t spend the time needed to care for themselves. Survivors, whether from cancer or another illness, or a survivor of abuse, or suffering from loss and grief, can benefit from time devoted to wellness and creativity. In collaboration with Independence House and NAMI Cape Cod & The Islands, we would like to honor you on Saturday, February 18, the day following National Caregivers Day. Join us at the Cultural Center of Cape Cod for a day devoted to you. Experience morning wellness workshops, including yoga, meditation, Nia and drumming. This will be followed by creative time, including visual journaling, a creative expressions group, work in clay and a singing workshop. A delicious buffet will follow, prepared by our Chef, Joe Cizynski. The afternoon will offer joy and relaxation with a choice of Salsa dancing, painting & mocktails, or a sound bath.

You might be a nurse, a school counselor, an individual grieving the loss of a friend, someone experiencing cancer treatments, or a loving partner of someone with Alzheimer’s…. whoever you are as Caregiver or Survivor, we hope you will take the day to enjoy self-care and celebrate the special person that you are and the gifts that you selflessly give. This is a free event, but registration is required. A form is attached after registration that allows you to sign up for first and second choices for workshops for each time slot. Since there is a maximum number for each workshop, a form is needed to attend.
