The Healing Journey
The
Centre puts on the following groups, classes and
courses:
Details about when these groups are held can be found on the Diary page.
Donations are welcome. For ongoing courses, there is normally a fee as well as a concessionary rate for those on low incomes.
The group offers a safe environment in which to exchange experiences, meet others, and to develop a network of support and mutual aid.
There will be opportunities to
discuss living with cancer and its effects, and to share
the changes that cancer has brought to people’s lives.

How can we express ourselves, be more creative, access our imagination, surprise ourselves? Do you need encouragement with a project you have in mind? The aim of these creativity sessions is to nurture inspiration and maintain energy and enthusiasm.
Attaining a relaxed state of mind is difficult when we are busy or pulled and pushed by strong emotional issues. Practicing letting go and focusing the mind on a neutral object, such as the breath or our walking, can help us to attain a sense of calm; putting the baggage down even for a few minutes can refresh us.
New techniques are also available to help us improve our experience of difficult situations even if they cannot be changed, these techniques can be learnt in a short time and practiced as required.
We are also planning to put on a Mindfulness and Meditation course starting in January 2012.
Qigong (pronounced chee-gung) is a gentle exercise that promotes body fitness and builds internal energy and awareness. It is one of the oldest, and possibly the most popular exercise systems in the world.
In this class, several forms of Qigong movement are taught. They include mindful walking, Qigong breathing, gentle muscle stretches and joint movement. We also teach correct posture and balance, which can be very useful in ordinary life. The movements are simple to do and can be practised by anyone, in any physical condition. They can also be practiced at home if desired.
In doing the class, any loose clothing is suitable, with heel-less shoes, socks or bare feet.
