Our Commitment to Diversity
Healing Journeys is committed to diversity and pledges to include, welcome, and support all individuals of any race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, age, socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation, and disability.

Purpose
The purpose of this program is to educate, inspire, connect, and celebrate all whose lives have been touched by cancer or any life-altering condition.

• Cancer or any life-altering illness can be viewed as both a curse and a blessing.
• If viewed simply as a disease of the body, it is experienced only as a curse.
• When we view cancer in the context of the whole person (body, mind, emotions and spirit), we see its transformative potential, as an awakening for the soul and spirit. Only then can we see it as a blessing and utilize its gifts.

“Thanks for creating this space where I can begin to come to terms with a cancer diagnosis. Thank you for the love…”

• Women and men touched by cancer or any life-altering illness.
• Healthcare providers.
• People supporting friends or family with cancer.

• Differentiate between curing the body and healing the person.
• Rekindle hope and motivation to live fully in the present.
• Explore illness as an awakening with transformative potential.
• Celebrate the healing capacity of the human spirit.
• Convey how diet and nutrition can help control cancer and promote wellness.
• Facilitate healing from within as an essential component of total health.
• Experience the physical and emotional benefits of group support.
• Incorporate stories, music and laughter to facilitate the healing process.
• Explore the impact of psycho-social and spiritual practices on the immune system.
• Facilitate networking among people and organizations with common goals and concerns.
