Terry Sutton, founder of Ocean Dreams Cancer Healing Center, will conduct a Healing and Wellness Retreat in Paradise from December 5 through 9 in Islamorada, Florida.

During this five-day, all-inclusive retreat, guests can explore healing modalities that complement their current medical protocol and discover how to treat the entire mind, body and spirit through breathing techniques, nutrition, drinking filtered water, stretching, joint manipulation, massage, acupuncture, music therapy, reiki, grounding, reflexology, meditation, herbal medicine and more. They can also play in the water, go fishing or relax in the sun.
