Living With Cancer – Walking In Hope
A personal reflective day for those who have ever experienced cancer
A diagnosis of cancer can turn life upside down and affect every part of our being, even years after the initial diagnosis and treatment. Yet in the tumult of medications, discomfort, tiredness, ongoing uncertainties and fears it can be hard to find time and energy to process and make sense of what has happened and what we continue to experience.
‘Living With Cancer – Walking In Hope’ is a day for people who continue to live with the reality of a past cancer diagnosis, who would appreciate a time of quiet to reflect on where their journey with cancer has taken them, and space to allow ‘soul’ to catch up with body.
The day will be facilitated by Adrian and Gill Newman.
Gill has many years of experience in hospital chaplaincy, supporting those who have experienced a life-limiting illness or loss. Adrian retired as Bishop of Stepney with a debilitating illness and has reflected deeply on living with ill-health.
Make use of St Katharine’s beautiful and relaxing environment however you would like to. Bring that book you’ve been longing to read, relax in the garden, spend time in the peacefulness of the chapel. Whilst this is not a therapeutic day, there may be an opportunity to have a safe conversation with someone experienced in listening. There will be resources to aid individual reflection and prayer, and an optional group discussion. Most of all there will be space and time to think, to reflect, to pray, and to draw strength and inspiration for the journey ahead.
We look forward to welcoming you to our ' extraordinary urban oasis' .
This gentle day will include welcome coffee and pastries, lunch and an afternoon pot of tea and cake. Or maybe book to stay overnight in one of our lovely en-suite bedrooms and make the most of taking some time aside.
