Cancer As a Turning Point: From Surviving to Thriving™
Seattle, WA - July 12-13, 2003

Comments from participants



What a wonderful experience my first "Cancer as a Turning Point Conference" was !!!! I am still glowing days later !!!!! You have worked so hard and been so deeply dedicated to your vision. I hope you know how enthusiastically Seattle received you and all your team. I heard nothing but positive comments. Cancer is such a rough ride; I felt as if I had got to dessert at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the philosophy behind the conference, the speakers and entertainment, especially the one-woman play and Taiko, definitely supported it. I felt very nurtured. Thank you for this wonderful experience. My husband and I could not have attended if there had been a conference fee.

It was one of the most beneficial things I’ve done. I will move from this place, this experience - to a higher level of existence - of healing. To live a more authentic life. Thank you!

The combination of the speakers gave me such a positive experience, with more hope, and energized me to continue on my own healing journey......This conference gave me the motivation to continue to take care of “me” first. It truly may change the way I live the rest of my life. This was so awesome.

Absolutely fantastic conference! Everyone was fabulous - all the presenters had beautiful messages conveyed in original, interesting, and meaningful ways.

Thank you! This was a peak experience.

Thank you. I have changed too. I thought I had dealt with my grief, but I realized I had just buried it. I’ve spent 9 years numb. I cried from the beginning to the end of the conference. Maybe now I can move on with my life.

You are doing a wonderful job. I do believe it is the best conference I have ever attended on any subject. Time well spent. I loved the atmosphere created by the staff and speakers.

The whole conference was a treat for me - seeing the courage of others, the humor, the music and artistic expression - variety of presenters. Thank you.

I will bring my 3 daughters next year, to learn and to help realize what really counts in life and mom is not just a little crazy. Thank you for the love this week-end. This was my first time and this will be a beginning of a new tradition to feed my spirit. Thank you!

The mix of body-mind-spirit was unexpected and so very healing and helpful.

I sincerely appreciate this free conference because I am on limited income. The generosity of a free conference is astounding to me - such quality and integrity. I would be honored to be associated with your ongoing work. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

This conference helped me to acknowledge and release some of the grief I have held in since my cancer diagnosis and ensuing surgery.

Even though I’ve attended support groups and had a personal therapist, and have lots of community support, it took this conference for me to access my emotions and experience about cancer, and to move toward acceptance. I’m so grateful to you for this breakthrough. I was feeling very stuck. You are offering an invaluable service.

Great mix of scientific information along with integrating the emotional, spiritual aspects - great music, stories, etc.

This has been a symbolic journey, a metaphor of life itself, a touching reminder of our inner core and resilience through hardship and heartache, yet a connection to us all.

The whole conference was a blessing......I am one month out of treatment for breast cancer, and the positive energy, inspiration, laughter and tears these past two days have been a wonderful tonic. Thank you!

This conference is one of a kind! Keep up the hard work. You have touched so many lives. Every single person at the conference had an amazing story to tell!!

Thank you for a rejuvenating two days! My heart has been lifted by the energy and joy of my time here.

I lost my husband to cancer just a month ago. I am in pain emotionally. This conference healed me so much. I laughed, cried, became emotional and tears flowed so freely. This week-end did more for me than a year of therapy could do, I’m sure. I was re-energized, have such peace, met several new people with a like mind. I felt so much love, compassion and healing. Give me more!!

The overall healing energy was palpable!!
