Participate in a four-session experiential workshop for women with breast cancer, and learn valuable skills that complement your treatment and enhance your healing.
During the sessions, you will receive your own sketch pad, set of pastels, and specially produced relaxation CD so that the skills you learn you can take with you as you practice thriving through cancer.- Use simple artistic expression, journaling, and simple movement to help reveal, understand, and cope with your inner thoughts and feelings (Note: No art experience of any kind is required!)
- Modify your “self-talk” so you experience more self-compassion and less fear and judgment.
- Decrease your anxiety so you can make optimal choices for your care -- and your life.
- Appreciate more fully all the good in your health, your emotions, and your relationships.
- Learn and practice better listening and communication skills with others in the group so you can share your experience in a meaningful and effective way.
