Healing Journeys is a non-profit organization whose vision is that EVERYONE touched by cancer or any life-altering condition be empowered to move from surviving to thriving. Our mission is to support healing, activate hope, and promote thriving.

Healing Journeys has Closed

After 30 years of offering programs for people touched by cancer, Healing Journeys has closed.

We accomplished our goal of introducing thousands of people to healing for the whole person. Jan Adrian, the founder, has retired and will continue to write her blog about her personal cancer journey. You can read her blog here. You can learn more about our closing here.

The spirit of the Cancer as a Turning Point free conference:

Distinction Between Curing and Healing — Michael Lerner, PhD:

“I loved the incorporation of music, humor and performing arts in the program! Often programs focus all on the ‘mind’ or all on professionals ‘talking’ toward the audience. Healing Journeys is like a breath of fresh air.” — Participant at Free Conference, September 2012
