We invite you to join the 2025 Forum on Healing with Integrative Cancer Care, a gathering that bridges wisdom traditions with emerging frontiers in healing. This year’s forum explores transformation through the intersections of integrative cancer care with consciousness and healing arts, featuring distinguished speakers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds. The day will include engaging presentations on patient advocacy, expressive arts, and innovative approaches to cancer care. Whether you’re a healthcare practitioner, someone touched by cancer, or simply curious about integrative approaches to healing, this forum offers valuable insights and practical wisdom.
Join us in person at the Commonweal Gallery in Bolinas, CA, or participate via livestream.
