DFCI Zakim Center
Mind Body Book Discussions
The Zakim Center hosts a Mind Body Book Discussion every month, where participants read a pre-selected book and come together to discuss, led by Patricia Martin Arcari, PhD, RN, AHN-BC. Discussions are held "meeting-style" on Zoom and participants are encouraged to keep their camera on for the duration of the meeting, to foster dialogue and community. There are two options for meeting times, and books are provided free of charge and mailed to participants ahead of time. *This program is reserved for Dana-Farber patients and caregivers.
The selection for September is My Stroke of Insight by Jill Bolte Taylor, PhD. Space is limited. Please email Zakim_Center@dfci.harvard.edu to register and choose one meeting time:
Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 3 - 4 p.m. ET OR Wednesday, Sept. 18, from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m. ET
