Cancer As a Turning Point: From Surviving to Thriving™
San Rafael - September 13-14, 2003

Comments from participants

I’m 2 ½ years from my diagnosis and coming here every year helps me see how far I have come. It feels like a beautiful celebration of life - of my life.



Getting back the stillness of spirit each year and remembering how powerful the healer within is. These conferences are so encouraging and empowering. Thank you!



The conference “walks its talk".



Bringing art, poetry and music to the stage helps us notice that there is more to this healing journey than putting one foot in front of another. There is a lovely mixture of joy, music, words of hope and healing, and new thoughts.



The variety was striking. I noticed how almost every person’s talk found a place in my soul in some way. Please accept my deepest gratitude for all the work you all put into making such a fabulous, fun, and powerfully spiritual event take place.



Wonderful mix of speakers and performers. A very supportive and uplifting experience. Food for healing.



Thank you for a wonderful conference. My eyes, heart, and soul have been opened.



A fantastic “Tour de Force”. I was only diagnosed with breast cancer August 1 and had a lumpectomy with node excision August 13th. The conference gave me much to think about to help me confront my own life threatening disease. Joy and pathos. It was a life affirming experience.



Thank you so much for touching my soul!



Another great week end. I leave with some more parts of myself unveiled. Feeling alive and healthy.



I’ve been coming to Healing Journeys since 1999. Each year I put it on my calendar as a “MUST”. It is so uplifting. I’ve been in remission for almost three years and come now to support those newly diagnosed...and to give thanks for my healing...an on-going process.


It was all wonderful. Good balance of art, music, info, ambience, passion, love. I felt nourished and cared for.



I am truly amazed that you have put this event on at no cost to participants. Every aspect was done in a very professional way. Very impressive!



Thank you! The conference helped me see that I am part of a larger family that is bravely facing and surviving and thriving. I do not feel so afraid and alone anymore.



So few words, I think I’ll get up and dance!



Thank you so much for replenishing my spirit and soul again! I look forward to this conference every year. It is so true - the best things in life are free.



You turn every auditorium into a cathedral for healing with this conference. Congratulations on living fully through your vision.



I really needed this!! - especially this year after a difficult summer. Please keep up the good work. The quality of each part is amazing.



A very strong message of Taking Care of Yourself, by having snacks available, massage therapists, places to rest, and places to offer prayers.



Please know how much I have healed and grown well with each year. Thank you for all you do and all the generous choices you make.



An amazing, wonderful, uplifting event coming always when I need it. Thank you.
