Life and Living - The Next Step - a follow up cancer healing retreat

(formerly Health Healing and Beyond)

A five day follow up cancer healing retreat for people experiencing cancer.

Program Overview

Health, Healing and Beyond is a follow-up program for those who have participated in one of our introductory programs for people experiencing cancer and their carers. It has a more informal and flexible format, and a questionnaire is used to help identify the needs of each participant. Each program is tailored to meet those specific needs.

The purpose of the program is to offer the opportunity for participants to refocus and go deeper into their healing process, to address any issues and obstacles they may have come up against, deal with setbacks, transform fear and learn some new techniques such as:

• Communcation and creating healing relationships
• Spirituality as a healing resource
• Contemplation to develop clarity and insight
  

Format

A major feature is Guided Imagery work that introduces you to techniques that draw upon your inner wisdom and help you to develop insight and clarity. This program has a more flexible format, and a questionairre is used to help identify the needs of each participant. Each program is tailored to meet those specific needs.It is also a chance to catch up with old friends, make new ones, to relax and to be taken care of in a peaceful and nuturing environment.

Attending the program with support

Attending any of our programs with a partner or support person is extremely beneficial. If your support person did not attend the original program with you, or you have another support person who you would like to bring with you, they are very welcome to attend this program. They will also benefit personally. It is a great opportunity for partners to take some time for themselves, and to address issues that they face in their support role.

Additional Services available during the Program

• Counselling:   Private consultation appointments are available with our counselling staff before, during or after the program.
• Massage, Shiatsu Massage and Reflexology:  With qualified, experienced therapists, very relaxing and re-energising - good for body and spirit.
