Cancer As a Turning Point: From Surviving to Thriving™
Seattle, WA – July 8-9, 2006

Comments from participants

“Probably the best organized, executed, worthwhile conference (on any topic) I’ve ever attended.”

“The experience was wonderful. I am still in treatment and it gave me a much needed boost and spiritual deepening. Making connections with other women with Ovarian cancer was so helpful.”

“Many moving moments, metaphors about gardens, issues about risk and fear-an invitation to deal with fear-an empowering conference.”

“Thanks so much. This experience was very important in helping me on my journey. The tapes (volume 1 & 2) which I got a few months after my diagnosis, were really instrumental in turning me around from a place of terror to beginning to find some hope and meaning in this process.”

“Thank you to all of the presenters for being so approachable and willing to speak with the audience after their presentations/performances. Their openness is a central part of this experience. Thank you all.”

“I didn’t really have words to describe what I was experiencing after having cancer surgery 1½ years ago. I am so enriched by the quality of this conference to validate, understand, and appreciate the – how I am different – the hero quality – life force – the enhancement of self, combined with vulnerability – and to receive the gifts of the variety of presenters.”
