Sometimes it takes a wake-up call like cancer to bring us back to ourselves. The crisis of illness may shake us free of the life that we have created and allow us to begin a return to the life that is our own.
Rachel Naomi Remen, MD
If you’ve been newly diagnosed, are at the beginning, in the middle of, or beyond treatment, or if you’ve lived with cancer for a while, we invite you to join a healing circle. Within a circle, you might find meaning in the challenge of cancer, bear witness to your own or othersâ suffering and loss, and explore your choices and capacity for healing.
Healing circles are a safe and supportive space in which you can walk with others through these times. Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence, compassion and curiosity. Agreements ensure acceptance and confidentiality. We honor our own unique paths to healing and respect the choices of others.
- $12 covers the cost of your participation in one circle
- $24 covers your participation in one circle and pays it forward for another participant

We cultivate an environment of safety, sanctuary, and trust; give ourselves space to embrace our common paths; and allow the gates to open to profound learning and healing.

Self-care for those living with cancer
Take time for yourself and give yourself love through self-care. Meditation helps relieve stress and anxiety, fatigue, and even improves sleep and mood for many who are living with cancer.
Sound bath meditation is a gentle practice that promotes relaxation and invites a quiet mind into our busy lives. This circle is open to those who host, are registered for, or are waitlisted for any healing circle listed on this page.
Before this circle begins, please prepare to rest comfortably on a mat or your bed, and bring headphones and a cozy blanket.
