The Third Body

Blooming Bodies is a project supporting cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers through restorative and flower-based workshops to celebrate and honor their bodies. The project, free and open to all, offers an opportunity for passive recipients of treatment to become active artists and poets.

The process of engaging with flowers and writing flower-centered poems about the body positively impacts the wellness of more than 200 patients undergoing treatment in the University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, in addition to family, friends, and caregivers.
