Healing Circle Talks

 

Healing Circles, in simple words, are a manifestation of Love and Care, a place where kindness and humanity meet each other and exchange notes.

Healing Circle Talks are online participation-based webinars, where we invite different individuals connected with cancer – patients, caregivers, survivors, oncologists, healers, and other cancer care professionals. Healing Circle acts as a platform where participants share their own journeys, experiences, and knowledge to inspire each other and help patients fight cancer stronger. When undergoing an ordeal such as cancer, the importance of sharing and outpouring what is going on through one’s mind can’t be understated.  Since all participants have had past experiences with cancer, the forum is very welcoming and allows like-minded people to exchange thoughts freely without fear of being judged. It is a sacred space where everyone listens with compassion and empathy. They honor each other’s unique way of healing through cancer. All the stories are held 0confidential, and we believe that we have the guidance we need within us, and we rely on the power of silence to access it.

We have organized 100+ Healing Circle Talks till now. While these used to be mostly offline till March 2020, we have now shifted to an online format since lockdown in March 2020. We feel an online event is more welcoming and allows cancer warriors to join from wherever they are while being in the comfort of their homes.

The Indian chapter of Healing Circle Talks has connected more than 1,000+ cancer warriors to date. It is scheduled every Sunday from 5 pm to 6:15 pm IST over a Zoom Meeting. The Zoom Meeting is also made live on Facebook to share the experience with more people. Healing Circle Talks are free to join, and participation from the audience is encouraged.
