Comments from participants

This was an outstanding conference!! Everyone who deals with cancer should be here. It is a unique and cutting edge approach to cancer healing and moved me beyond imagination. My husband and I have had many deep and soul connecting conversations and revelations! Thanks!!!

I needed this! I have been depressed, and alone, with my cancer; now feeling less alone.

Congratulations for putting together such a multi-faceted event that met the needs of such a diverse, huge group.

This was my first conference. I had breast cancer, 5 surgeries in 10 weeks, 35 positive lymph nodes, chemo, radiation, anxiety and depression. I’ve been looking for something like this conference and Oh My God! Thank you for helping me find it. This was a tremendous wonderful experience. I finally felt like I belong. This group this week end gives me the strength to carry on and not be afraid.

Thank you for putting on The Turning Point conference. It was the most moving and healing event I’ve experienced. I feel honored and blessed to have attended.

This was the Viagra of the Soul!

This is my first conference and very soon after my diagnosis of breast cancer. It has truly helped me to embark on my own healing journey.

I had no idea how powerful the week end would be. Spread the word!

The conference was a wonderful experience. I did not come with special expectations, but came away with a tremendous feeling of peace. Very good balance between practical and spiritual events. Thank you very much.

It was incredible, informative, fun, inspirational, affirmative, heartwarming, wonderful! The Best!

My sister and I have been attending for four years now even if we can only make one of the 2 days. Your conferences are something I look forward to each year as a time to focus on the cancer that has touched our family and to continue to grow from those experiences. And to remember from seeing all the guests that life goes on and to live it to the fullest while we are still here.

Thank you for all you do. These are fabulous, life changing experiences.

An incredible, moving, inspirational, and educational experience. Full of heart and soul!

So healing to have our senses titillated by music, dance, words of love and life and inspiration and assurance that there is truly a way to heal. Thank you.

This so far exceeded my expectations. I can only give all of you deepest heartfelt thanks. I regret that I didn’t make it to your earlier conferences.

As a facilitator for a group of women whose breast cancer has metastasized (since Nov. 99) I found myself laughing often with tears in my throat. So glad I came and a number of the women in the group also came, with partners, family members. So glad I talked it up in group.

I keep coming back because of the feeling of love and healing. The tremendous generosity of your journey program is evident, from top to bottom....you cover it All...from fresh water, kleenex, treats, a free ride if needed, to smiles, hugs, to listening, sharing.....thank you.......thank you..........thank you

The Healing Journeys conference is so life affirming, inspiring, and informative that it carries me through the year.

These conferences are so inspirational to so many people, they should go on and on!

I consider this the most spiritual week end I spend all year.

It was transformational for me. I shall be doing some parts of my life a new way. More in the truest level of my being. God bless you all!

This is one of the most beautifully executed workshops/conferences I’ve ever been to - very considerate and attentive to every detail and every comfort. Thank you!

Thank you for keeping this free - low cost - so that this information and friendship/love is available to everyone that needs it.

Thank you. I’ve come to these since the first and they’ve all been wonderful. They are wonderfully done in every aspect: content, organization, and presentation.

Thank you for the bright light you have brought into my life that lasts throughout the year. I can hardly wait for next year. Love and blessings to you!

My first time and hopefully not my last. It renewed my faith, hope and courage to battle my cancer.

This is my 1st conference and I was greatly encouraged and challenged. We will be supporting your efforts. There are many women and families that need to share this experience.

In response to the question: “What did you like MOST about the conference?”

The energy and love that are so strong in the room. Great permission to just be and enjoy.

The blend of presenters who were also very much part of the community of people attending. The warmth, the hope, the healing.

The upbeat attitude. So wonderful to experience so many people who are working for a brighter world.

The sense of hope, renewal which all speakers brought.

Variety of presenters and being reminded that I went through something really profound by having cancer; after 2 years I’d forgotten.

As always, the diversity of your speakers and performers. There is a little of everything, but in good measure. Clinical/medical information, but also laughter and humor and music. Something for every part of our being.

The variety of presentations. It addressed several topics I wanted to learn about. Besides the excellent stories and informative talks, I loved the warm atmosphere - very supportive.

The re-establishment of hope, joy, and faith about the whole cancer/healing experience.

The sense of community, the facility (wonderful) and the extraordinary organization of thoughtful planning that was so evident throughout the conference.

The variety of the presentations. The mix of spiritual, medical, musical, and humorous presentation is the beauty of what you do.

Just love the feeling of “we are one” from people attending, volunteers and presenters as well.
