Cancer Journey Healing Circles
Healing circles are based on ancient and sacred practices of supporting and connecting with one another in community. Healing circles are a safe and supportive space in which you can listen and bear witness to others' stories with compassion and curiosity and share your own experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Through healing circles we are able to process our thoughts and release emotions while building trust and connection. In this circle we are focusing on the experiences of those on their cancer journey. Join us in honoring one another’s unique path to healing.
