Australia: A very successful ‘Cancer, Balance & Wellbeing ‘ retreat was held at Yarra Valley Living Centre of Brahma Kumaris (the former home of The Gawler Cancer Foundation).
Cancer statistics from Australian Institute of Health & Welfare in Oct ’22 – ‘It is estimated that 162,000 new cancer cases will be diagnosed in 2022’.
These residential retreats are a unique opportunity in Australia to attend a lifestyle-based Integrative medicine programme that fully supports conventional medical cancer treatment regimes.
Although the majority of people diagnosed with cancer may be unaware of this, health research worldwide consistently suggests stress management, lifestyle and dietary changes can have significant impact in improving both long-term cancer outcomes and the physical and emotional experience of cancer treatment.
We offer a beautifully blended 5 days of researched teachings on Mindfulness Meditation, anti-cancer nutrition, emotional growth and self-care, developing clear intentions through wise use of the mind, health benefits of exercise and sleep, living a well supported life with purpose and meaning, and spirituality.
And each day we enjoy delicious plant based meals, walking, guided Qi gong and peaceful meditation practices in the beautiful Meditation sanctuary.
Our skilled team of Liz Stilwell, Dr Peter Johnston, Michael Johnson and Sandy Clinton bring together many years of working with people diagnosed with cancer and we are lovingly supported by the skilled team of Brahma Kumaris, our retreat hosts.
The next retreat will be held 27 – 31 October ’23 at Yarra Valley Living Centre
