"Spirituality is that part of each individual that longs for meaning, integrity, beauty, dignity, love, acceptance and hope." For many, a diagnosis of cancer brings these themes to the surface in a way they may not have been experienced before. Some have experienced attention to spirituality and it's many expressions to be a foundational resource to cope with life's challenges. You're welcome to join in a time of reflection and discussion regarding that which may have been a support or a challenge to you, personally, in the area of spirituality, and to learn from the experiences of others.
