Wellness Hour: Film Screening & Discussion

Monday, November 10th, 2025

From 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. EST        Watch the Film

From 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.                Wellness Session Discussion (everyone welcome)

From 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. EST (one hour before the regular starting time for our monthly Wellness Session, and in place of the open discussion that occurs from 4:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. facilitated by Rick Whitehead), we will stream the film “Marion or the Metamorphosis,” which is 52 minutes long (brought to us by FSHD Society). The regularly scheduled Wellness Session (from 5:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m.) will feature a discussion of the movie.

Movie Summary: “Marion or the Metamorphosis” is a documentary film by Laëtitia Moreau and Marion Sellenet that follows the life of Marion Sellenet, a 35-year-old artist who lives with facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). The film chronicles Marion’s personal journey, exploring themes of identity, transformation, and resilience as she navigates living with a progressive disease. It captures Marion’s creative process, her daily challenges, and her evolving self-image, while also shedding light on the impact of FSHD on her life as an artist and individual. Through candid and intimate storytelling, the documentary reflects on how Marion adapts to physical limitations, reinventing herself and her art, ultimately celebrating her courage and inner metamorphosis.

We hope that you will join us. If you plan to come to the Wellness Session Discussion Group and have not yet seen the film, be sure to join us at 4:00 p.m. EST to see the film!

Feel free to invite family members as well as friends to join us for both hours of this Wellness Session. The film is beautiful as well as informative, and we’re sure that you will enjoy your time.
