September 6 & 7
10am-4pm. $150.

Mary Pat was diagnosed with cancer by William LeSassier, the herbal “teacher of teachers”. It was during a class on facial diagnostics. Thus began a journey to understand and work with healing that drew on physical and spiritual growth. Told she would die without chemotherapy, she chose herbal medicine and acupuncture as her healing modalities. Today, 7 years later, she is healthy, productive, and grateful to have learned from her experience. Mary Pat believes in an “Each one teach one” philosophy and looks forward to sharing what she learned. Join her for an experience in confronting life threatening illnesses with the emphasis on cancer.
