Dear Friends,

We've been writing and gathering articles for our annual postal newsletter the past month and it's now in the printer's hands. If you are on our postal mailing list, you will receive it the beginning of April. Because this is our only postal newsletter, we have been working hard to get all of our programs for the year scheduled so they could be included.

I've gotten excited and re-energized by doing this planning and am eager to share these events with you. Our partnership with the Central Georgia Cancer Coalition in Macon, GA is making it possible for the Cancer-Fighting Kitchen: Nourishment for Life workshop to be offered in Macon on May 30th. A big thank you to Warren Plowden for making this happen. After attending our workshop in Greer, SC, last year, he went back to his community determined to bring it to Macon. It is these connections that can only be made by a local person that bring our workshops and conference to a new city.

We have listed all the events on the sidebar, and will let you know more about them as we open registrations. For now, please save the dates. And please let us know if you have connections in Seattle for sponsors that will help keep the price low for the July 12th workshop.

In the Spirit of Healing,

Jan Adrian, MSW
Founder and Executive Director

• 5-Day Residential Workshop - Larry LeShan, PhD, who wrote the book, Cancer as a Turning Point, gave Healing Journeys permission to use that title for the free conference we have offered the past 20 years. Larry also designed a 5-day residential workshop (not free) called Cancer as a Turning Point. That workshop will be offered by Ruth Bolletino and Mary Bobis in Abingdon, Virginia, May 11 – 16. Details are available at www.cancerasaturningpoint.org.

• In her groundbreaking and inspiring new book, Radical Remission: Surviving Cancer Against All Odds, Dr. Kelly A. Turner, founder of the Radical Remission Project, uncovers nine factors that can lead to a spontaneous remission from cancer—even after conventional medicine has failed. Dr. Turner has presented at our Cancer as a Turning Point conference. Jan has been focusing on the "treatments" from Dr. Turner's research, and she writes about her experiences in her blog.

As my fingertips explore your body
they encounter the long white remnants
of the surgeon's knife. One extending
from neck to navel has almost faded away.
(I didn't know that scars could disappear.)
The round one that held the failed feeding
tube is still there. The gash that stretches
from shoulder blade to ribs looks like
a brush with the Mafia.

Sometimes I wake and listen
for your regular breathing after
dreaming of darkness and death.
Ten years from diagnosis,
seven from the last chemo.
The doctors said you would surely
die within nine months. Midnight
trips to the hospital through record
snowfalls that January. Our marriage
was cancerous, but it took the embodiment
to make us understand.
