AUBURN – “Complementary Therapies” is the topic of a Central Maine Comprehensive Cancer Center wellness symposium for cancer patients and their loved ones scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 26.

Session two will offer participants a choice between “Yoga for Caregivers” with yoga instructor Beth Tanner or reiki therapy with reiki massage therapist Martha Spruce of Hearts and Hands Inc. in Bath.

The symposium will be offered from 5:45 to 7:45 p.m. on Sept. 26 at the Hilton Garden Inn. The first session will begin at 6 p.m. and conclude at 6:45. The second session will begin at 7:10 p.m. A gourmet dessert buffet will be offered between sessions.
