Support Groups
Safe and sacred places to heal together while living with cancer
It was like driving through a winter storm for years, day after week after month after night after morning of white-knuckled stiff-shouldered worry. No tracks to follow, no sign of a centering, no rails on the edge no sign of a centerline, no rails on edge and where are the snowplows, and what good is a map when you can’t read the signs?
Breast Cancer Over Time partners with Healing Circles Global, a global non-profit whose vision is to provide positive social support to those living with cancer.
Healing Circles offer a safe and accepting environment in which participants can find meaning in the challenges of cancer, bear witness to their own and others’ suffering and loss, and explore their choices and capacity for healing. They are a blend of sharing and silence, compassion and curiosity. Agreements ensure acceptance, confidentiality, honoring each individual’s unique path to healing, and respecting the choices of others.
Each circle meets weekly and is limited to 10 participants.
