CIRCLE? HEALING CIRCLES BRING TOGETHER SMALL NUMBERS OF PEOPLE
IMPACTED BY A CONDITION OR CIRCUMSTANCE TO SHARE EXPERIENCES AND
HARVEST COLLECTIVE WISDOM. HEALING CIRCLES IS A PEER-led process by
which PEOPLE SUPPORT EACH OTHER THROUGH DEEP LISTENING AND SHARED
LEARNING. When working at its best, this collaborative conversation
model leads to authentic and deep connectivity and can create wisdom
and HEALING FOR PARTICIPANTS. About Danielle Ferris, MS, OTR/L, CLT

Bonnie Vermillion I am a Cancer survivor/thriver since 1998 and have
had LYMPHEDEMA SINCE 2002. I initially had so much trouble finding
information on LYMPHEDEMA THAT I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND AN EXERCISE
PROGRAM THAT WAS DEVELOPED TO MAINTAIN LYMPHEDEMA. I became an
instructor, then trainer, and finally acquired the program in 2014. I
currently teach classes in central Virginia. I’m also a regional
coordinator for Chronic Disease Self Management workshops, so actively
work with small groups of participants for them to self-manage their
chronic conditions. I am also a volunteer Ombudsman with the local
Agency on Aging and a volunteer with the Alzheimer’s Association as
a support group facilitator and speaker. + Google Calendar + iCal
