The cancer experience brings up our deepest beliefs and often we’re not sure exactly what we believe. Exploring questions about life’s meaning, spirituality, death and grief helps us clarify our beliefs and find meaning in our experience.
This workshop will provide a safe forum for discussion and exploration of:
• life’s meaning
• spirituality
• death and grief
• integration of our beliefs
Using a combination of brief lectures, small group sharing, visual journaling, music, guided imagery, and gentle movement, we will enter into discussions in a spirit of inquiry, curiosity, discovery, and collaboration.
Over the course of two days Debra will open a space in which it is safe to unwind, explore, laugh and share. Aspects of childhood beliefs, patterned behavior and cultural norms are a few of the guideposts for our sharing. Dark chocolate will be provided.
Participants can expect to:
• gain new perspectives
• increase their comfort level when discussing these issues
• gain a deeper understanding of their beliefs
• find new meaning in their experience
This workshop is for all levels: cancer patients, families and friends, medical staff, clergy, counselors, social workers, or anyone wanting to find meaning in life’s challenges.
