We have so much to be grateful for and to close the ADDICTION: Focus on Women Conference (AFOW) participants are invited to come and celebrate. Emerging from this week of learning is new knowledge, affirmation and intention for the future. In a collaborative creation of music and fun this closing will include drumming and playing other instruments together as a group. Experience how your own rhythm as well as the collective rhythm of the group emerges to create a new sense of community and encourage individual expression. Instruments will be available or you can bring your own to play. While conference attendance gets you CEUs, attending the closing is... PRICELESS.

Certificates available at the conclusion of the Closing Session, 12:45pm Friday.
