Comments from participants
Absolutely wonderful conference. Very positive
environment in which to share experiences and connect with
people going through the same experience. The sense of community
this conference creates is amazing.
I am 80 years old – gone to all kinds of conferences about all
kinds of things. THE SPIRIT HERE WAS THE BEST I’VE EVER EXPERIENCED!!!
Thank you for a soulful experience.
Thanks – as a support person, I learned much about the thoughts,
fears, hope, etc. of those on this journey.
Thank you so much! I enrolled as a therapist
for CEU’s. I attended as a person needing a healing space after
recent death of my brother. I experienced the joy of raising my hand
as a person outliving their prognosis by 71/2 years and sharing other
person’s joy and experiences of healing. I’m returning home
celebrating a RENEWAL!
What a wonderful experience. As a therapist,
I plan to use what I have learned not only for myself and my family,
but my clients as well.
I described the experience as: “One part old-fashion tent revival,
one part cutting-edge medical symposium”
A great conference. Full of hope & healing. It was awesome and heart-opening!
Thank you.
A wonderful, spiritually nurturing conference.
Thank you.
I liked the feeling of community that we are all brothers and sisters on the journey.
Very inspiring conference- as a caregiver, I came away with renewed hope. Thank you.
Nice balance of presentation styles. I loved
the positive attitudes and multiple kinds of cancer that were represented.
This conference is so wonderful, I can’t say it enough. I liked
the details of compassion for needs like water, snacks, healthy food,
massage, nap room, community.
I came to this conference to allow me to give
voice to many thoughts/feelings that I have as the daughter of a mother
and father, who both had cancer, as well as being the mother of a child
who is a survivor/ thriver. I came away with a sense of community & intention
of how we live our lives. Thank you.
There was a wealth of information, lovingly
presented. Poignant stories of courage, faith and intention and healing
were shared with me.
I am so grateful for this conference. It has
made me see my cancer as a positive turn in the road in my life.
This was the first time coming to the conference
and the entire conference was phenomenal! I came to support my mother
and I can see the way it lifted her spirits and gave me a better understanding
of what to expect and how to help. I will definitely attend again.
I am amazed and impressed with the quality and
content of this conference. Thank you for offering it free to the public.
Such a cleansing and liberating experience.
Spent much of the time in tears; tears of gratefulness, tears of remembrance,
tears of laughter, tears of joy. Thank you for the inspiration and the
realizations you have provided. Thank you for a place of peace in the
midst of strife. I now fear cancer diagnosis less, can see it as a gift
even, and most assuredly view it as an empowerment, thanks to this conference.
Thank you for making this conference possible. Thank you for the opportunity
to meet other people, to hear powerful information, to feel supported and gain
a totally new perspective on the cancer experience.
This was altogether an excellent conference – uplifting, hopeful, positive,
empowering, and loving! Thank you!!
It is, without a doubt, the most uplifting, wonderful conference I have ever attended.
