Art Enhances Health

With the support of The Ministering Circle and the Novant Health New Hanover Regional Medical Center Foundation, CAM offers FREE six-week classes to cancer patients and survivors. Based on research showing that art can positively impact brain function and well-being, these sessions aim to provide relaxation, emotional expression, and relief from pain and anxiety. Teaching artist Donna Moore and expressive arts therapist Lorraine Perry lead classes in art making and expressive writing. These classes include gallery visits and mindful meditation.

In partnership with Novant Health Zimmer Cancer Institute, CAM offers a one-year membership to anyone being treated for cancer. More information and membership cards are available at both the Novant Health Zimmer Cancer Institute and at CAM’s Visitor Services desk.

Each class follows a foundational flow that builds awareness, balance, and natural movement through Heaven → Earth → Wu Ji (stillness). We open with a warm-up sequence: - Heaven (upper awareness): light posture, spinal alignment, crown openness, and relaxed breath - Earth (grounding): rooting through the feet, weight shifting, stability, and connection to the ground - Wu Ji (stillness): deep relaxation, internal quiet, and deep "ocean" breathing to center the system From there, we build the practice: - Simple foundational Tai Chi movements introduced slowly and clearly — soft stepping, relaxed coordination, natural flow - Emphasis on Wu Wei (effortless action) — movement without force or tension - Gradual linking of movements into smooth, continuous flow - Ongoing focus on balance, grounding, and whole-body awareness - Breathwork maintained throughout as a steady internal rhythm As the series progresses, we expand into deeper layers: - Energy and internal awareness development - Healing sound practices - Broader education on life force (Qi) and its relationship to the body and human experience - Deeper integration of mindfulness, breath, and movement as one unified system We close each class by returning to Wu Ji stillness — integrating the practice into everyday life: walking, standing, and daily awareness.

The goal is to build not just movement skill, but a deeper understanding of balance, internal calm, and the living energy that animates the body and human experience. ✦ Stay on for more: Pat Ulacco's Tranquil Tuesdays guided meditation begins right after at 6:00 PM in the same space — making Tuesday evenings at Station No. 2 a beautiful full practice from movement to stillness.
