March 5 & 19 About Wendy Miller Moving here many years ago from the SF
Bay Area, my relationship with Commonweal led me to Barbara Smith
Coleman. I am proud to have been part of an early group of people with
Shanti Norris who met with Barbara to envision the cancer retreats, a
HEALING CENTER, and gallery for Smith Center. Years later when my late
husband Gene Cohen was facing metastatic prostate cancer, he went to
Commonweal for his cancer retreat. The gift of community support,
reflection, and care guided the choices we made through the many years
of living with cancer in our family body. I became a widow in 2009.
Wendy Miller is an expressive arts therapist, artist, and writer
living in Kensington, MD. In 2016, she published the book, , about her
life and work with her late husband. It is a spiritual treatise on
love and creativity during life’s major transitions. About Larry
Kanter My late wife, Alex Todorovich, passed away in 2009 from breast
cancer. My work with the Smith Center began in 2007 when Alex and I
attended the Center’s week-long retreat, which marked a turning
point in our understanding of what it means to really live, to love
life, and to live in the embrace of a HEALING COMMUNITY. After
Alex’s passing the Center’s Hisaoaka Gallery mounted a show of
Alex’s art entitled “How to Leave a Well-Traveled Road” which
documented her life, her fears, her loves and the path she chose at
its end. Larry Kanter is a graphic designer living in WASHINGTON, DC
and is a Smith Center friend and an ardent supporter of the Center’s
work. + Google Calendar + iCal Export Details Date: February 20 Time:
