Saturday October 3rd Event Details: Recess Club + Henry Ford Health

Hi Friend,

We're looking forward to seeing you this Saturday for a special morning outside with you for our Recess Club + Henry Ford Health Cancer Nature Event. This is a morning centered around movement, nature, education, conversation, and connection.

This experience was created in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and designed to bring women together outside, moving our bodies, breathing fresh air, learning from one another, and having meaningful conversations about our health.

Whether you're a cancer survivor, caregiver, family member, healthcare advocate, or simply someone who wants to be proactive about their health, we're honored you'll be joining us.

Take a deep breath before you arrive. This isn't just another event—it's a chance to slow down, spend time in nature, learn from incredible experts, and connect with people who care about living well. We can't wait to spend the morning with you. 🌿

Most importantly, come exactly as you are.

There is something powerful about stepping outside of our everyday routines, putting our feet on the earth, moving our bodies, breathing deeply, and having meaningful conversations with other women.

Saturday isn't about doing more. It's about giving ourselves a few hours to move, learn, connect, and breathe.

We cannot wait to Recess with you. 🌿

With love, Melissa
Founder, Recess Club
