Notes from Past Participants |
|
"I have been dealing with a slow-growing cancer for the last eight years. It helps to get relief from so many doctor's visits, treatments, and tests and to be part of the natural world in such an exhilarating way. We felt so taken care of. It's nice to feel that something good can happen for you." - Amanda "I was in the middle of chemo, just recovering from an infection and very worried about my endurance, getting cold and wet or overly-tired. It did not happen that way...It was a beautiful day, carefully paced, (I felt) supported and satisfied on many levels. Being in nature, restful and active at the same time, is wonderful." - Krishna |

"The physical and emotional wounds of my cancer experience have been many, including the end of my marriage and my job. Healing Adventure trips give me the opportunity to heal my spirit through relaxation, enjoying nature and having fun, fun, fun." - Claudia "I volunteer with Healing Adventures to learn from the participants how to live life in a gracious life-affirming manner and in a creative and constructive way." - Bruni Mason, Sea Kayak Trip Leader |

"As I reflect back on all the outdoor adventures of this last year, I can't imagine this Healing Process without Healing Adventures. It has so many memories of joy, laughter, heartfelt connections, the ability to improve and feel my inner strength connect with the inner spirit I thought I lost, the experience of nature and loving people, lots of hugs and support that feels like it is always there. Most of all this experience with Healing Adventures is learning so much about living and ot dying. So affirming that life is about loving and joining. Thank you for all your efforts and support and friendship.You have made a difference in my life. - Sande "...I was scared and weakened by my surgery. I really needed to be around people who understand what a cancer experience is like...people who didn't expect me to be athletic or at my peak physical form...the simple elation of being on the water, of being comforted by the trees is very healing. I felt that I was celebrating my life instead of mulling over the possible death or physical pain." - Cynthia |

"To live in hearts that love is not to die" "...Rodger died last month and we chose one of is favorite recent photos...Richardson Bay...on one of the trips he took with you to Angel Island. Those jaunts meant so much to him..." - Jo |
