The Cancer Journey:
Navigating Life's Transitions
We experience many transitions throughout our lives, but a cancer diagnosis can trigger one of the most significant changes in our lifetime.
This 6-week support program presents those facing cancer with creative
tools and skills to successfully navigate this important life period. In
a supportive group structure, we explore such interactive strategies as
life mapping, critical thinking, breathing exercises, QiGong, sounding
and toning, meditation, journal writing, dreamwork, creative expression,
and more.
