Our Healing Circles are a safe place to find meaning in the challenge of cancer, bear witness to suffering or loss, and explore our individual choices and capacity for healing. The circle is open and free to those newly diagnosed, living with and beyond treatment, and their caregivers.
Each circle has agreements that provide a safe and secure container in which both acceptance and confidentiality are assured. Each circle is a blend of sharing and silence, compassion and curiosity, and honoring our own unique paths to healing as well as respecting each others’.
Please e-mail dianalindsay@healingcircleslangley.org if you would like to attend this circle. The circle is drop-in.
Mindfulness meditation in the insight tradition is about seeing things as they really are, free from belief and illusion. By gently noticing and investigating sensations, thoughts and emotions, it trains the mind and opens the heart.
Each week, we will explore a different topic related to coping with the COVID19 pandemic. Sessions will also include mindfulness meditation and discussion.

Hosted by Kate Davies, http://www.katedavies.org/, who has had a meditation practice for more than twenty years and is a certified mindfulness meditation teacher.
Our circle is about “discovering what death can teach us about living fully.” It will include reading, sharing thoughts, questions, inspirations evoked by the reading. It is not necessary to read the book ahead of time. The circle is open, participants come when they can. The conversations tend to be deep, meaningful, moving, funny, thought provoking–even life changing.
Hosted by Charles Terry, Betsy MacGregor, and Lynn Nelsen.

“…Poetry has redemptive power for me, as it does for millions of people. Poems have provided life jackets to keep me from drowning, ballast to keep me from ascending to altitudes where there’s not enough oxygen to support life, and maps to keep me from getting lost in the wilderness….”
Parker J Palmer
We will stock up the shelves of our Poetry Apothecary with poems that comfort and heal. Come and join us to help weigh, measure and distill poems for their healing properties so we can store each one in our apothecary. Bring poems that have helped you, that perhaps have companioned you through the ups and downs of life, through loneliness, loss, overwhelm, wonder, the healing power of nature, despondency, fragility, forgiveness, and inspiration. We will mine the storehouse of poetic literature and we will also look at poems which you may have written yourself as a way of finding resolve.
