CANCER AS A TURNING POINTFrom Surviving to Thriving™

PURPOSEThe purpose of this conference is to celebrate, empower, awaken

and network all whose lives have been touched by cancer.

Cancer or any life-altering illness can be viewed as both a curse and

a blessing.If viewed simply as a disease of the body, it is experienced only as a curse.When we view cancer in the context of the whole person (body, mind, emotions and spirit), we see its transformative potential, as an awakening forthe soul and spirit. Only then can we see it as a blessing and utilize its gifts.

WHO SHOULD ATTENDWomen and men touched by cancer or any life-altering illness.Healthcare providers.People supporting friends or family touched by cancer or other illnesses.

CONFERENCE OBJECTIVESDifferentiate between curing the body and healing the person.Explore illness as an awakening with transformative potential.Rediscover the healing capacity of the human spirit.Facilitate healing from within as an essential component of total health.Experience the physical and emotional benefits of group support.Incorporate ritual, myth and laughter as part of the healing process.Discover the impact of psycho-social and spiritual beliefs on the immunesystem.Facilitate networking among people and organizations with common goalsand concerns.

"This conference is made possible by your donations. Please give as generously as you can."
