Cancer As a Turning Point: From Surviving to Thriving™
Seattle, WA – July 8-9, 2006
Comments from participants
“Probably the best organized, executed, worthwhile conference (on any topic) I’ve ever attended.”
“The experience was wonderful. I am still in treatment and it gave me a much needed boost and spiritual deepening. Making connections with other women with Ovarian cancer was so helpful.”
“Many moving moments, metaphors about gardens, issues about risk and fear-an invitation to deal with fear-an empowering conference.”
“Thanks so much. This experience was very important in helping me on my journey. The tapes (volume 1 & 2) which I got a few months after my diagnosis, were really instrumental in turning me around from a place of terror to beginning to find some hope and meaning in this process.”

I am so enriched by the quality of this conference to validate, understand, and appreciate the – how I am different – the hero quality – life force – the enhancement of self, combined with vulnerability – and to receive the gifts of the variety of presenters.”
