Illness
to Wholeness: Cancer patients often find the journey after treatment
just as difficult as the one during treatment. To address the feeling
“What Now?”, CPAA and Roots and Wings (www.roots-n-wings.org) organized a
residential workshop to introduce participants to the latest
mind-body-spirit approaches useful in managing cancer and to provide a
safe and supportive environment in which to share their own experiences
and learn from each other. The programme consisted of lectures, practical
training and experiential sessions within the tranquil surroundings of the
Leslie Sawhny Training Centre, Deolali. 17 patients and caregivers came
out healed and able to "honour cancer in order to transcend it".
The next retreat is being held from 12th - 19th October at the Aurobindo Ashram, New Delhi. For details and registration procedure, contact Mrs. Kiran Hukku on 9810044536 (New Delhi) or Nilima Bhat on 9886700026 (Bangalore).
