EVERYTHING that The Wellness Community (TWC) does is ALWAYS free of charge. Whether it is educational seminars, yoga classes and movement therapy, cooking classes...always at no cost.
Remember, a person becomes a cancer survivor the day that they are diagnosed. Because from then on, they are surviving. You don't have to wait until after chemo/radiation, etc. to "become" a survivor. :)
