Note From Meghan: I am so excited to have Marilene teaching this class. She joined me on my most recent retreat in St. Lucia and I loved getting to know her. She is hilarious, honest and incredibly well-informed. The hospital system needs more nurses like her! You will be delighted, entertained, inspired and very well-fed!
