Founded in 1996, our mission is to help people engage their own innate healing responses to live better and potentially longer lives. As a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC, we provide creative and wellness resources for people living with cancer and other illnesses as well as the local community at large. In the past year, our services have reached nearly 10,000 people.

We welcome you to join us for our programs, visit our art gallery, or contact us at our U Street Center for more information.

Our Programs

Smith Farm Center's retreats and programs offer choices in healing, provide emotional support, enhance living, and complement mainstream medical care. Our programs are small in size, experiential, and held in beautiful settings. In addition, our city location allows you to easily integrate the programs into your weekly schedule. Our facilitators include noted experts in the health field, and the topics on which we focus are time-tested wellness techniques, such as health supportive diet and nutrition, exercise and stress reduction. We also offer an on-site public library focused on cancer and integrative care. Visit the Retreats & Programs page for information on upcoming events.

In addition to retreats and programs at our Center, we also provide resources in the Washington, DC community at large. Our hospital-based Artist-in-Residence programs engage patients in creative arts activities as part of the healing process through the visual arts, creative writing, storytelling, music, creative movement, and guided imagery. Also, by training breast cancer survivors as Patient Navigators, Smith Farm offers individual counseling and education to improve access to care and enhance the treatment experience of underserved communities. Patient Navigators guide cancer patients through treatment while offering psychosocial support to individuals and their families.
