Learnings on Relationship from Over One Hundred Cancer Retreats with Janie Brown, RN, MSN, MA

In this short video, Janie Brown, RN, MSN, MA, co-founder and executive director of the Callanish Society, discusses her experience building relationships with retreat participants and the power of learning to love strangers, including learning how to grieve.

So after 24 hours on retreat you can truly say, I love each one of these people, which again is a remarkable thing.” Watch the video to hear more:
