This is a group of cancer survivors who are not currently in treatment, but are interested in sharing and learning together ways to maintain their hard-won health. The purpose of this group is to provide a safe space for mutual discovery. Out of our conversations, your own unique plan to stay healthy in mind, body, and spirit, will emerge. We have guest speakers, watch documentary videos, discuss books, and share experiences with practitioners we have seen regarding the various topics. Members of the group will also be encouraged to seek out practices that bring sense of peace and balance into their lives.
