"Alternative Approaches to Treating Pain": Oct. 1, 2005 Monterey County Medical Society California Medical Association Monterey, CA Gathering Pearls Along the Journey: Heal I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open to me, to make me less afraid, more accessible; to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise Š. --- Dawna Markova There is a common thread shared among those participating in this workshop. Each one has experienced breast cancer. Every personal story is a uniquely precious pearl. Regardless of having received perhaps the best medical care available, accompanied with loving support, during your illness, this is an extraordinary opportunity for you within a nurturing, restorative environment that gently and safely draws you in, to find your healing passage through this experience. Personal insight and evolving awareness, while sharing and building trust within the group circle, may be found in the creative process of experiential practice. Meditation and breath work, dialogue, music, writing and poetry, gentle movement, and collage are employed in order to facilitate this process. Nourishing encounters here will assist to hearten the journey for continuing your path toward wellness.This is an invitation for you to bring your "Pearl" and explore.
