Spirituality group: 
Exploring meaning and sacredness,   8-week series 

Next series TBA

This group is for those in any stage of their cancer journey (newly diagnosed, in treatment, survivors/thrivers). 
You may be looking to find meaning in the challenge of cancer, to bear witness to your own or another's suffering and loss, or explore your own individual choices and capacity for healing.
Cancer often initiates an intense transformational process that can raise the deepest questions of our lives, leading us to re-examine our beliefs and path. 
You may feel called to explore opportunities for spiritual growth, feel a desire to connect with the sacred in a more conscious way, and define life’s meaning in the face of cancer.
Regardless of your personal beliefs or faith system, this group offers you an opportunity to reflect on your spiritual life, and explore how to integrate your cancer experience with your beliefs.


In this experiential group we will:
—create a safe, trusting environment that invites stillness and reflection
—support each other's spiritual growth and exploration, each of us on our unique journey.
—listen, deeply and with compassion, honoring each of our sacred stories.
—discover our most authentic self and illuminate our unique spiritual path.
Cost: FREE
Please call 510-204-1284 or email [email protected] 
for more information or to pre-register.

​We Are Loved By An Unending Love   —Rami Shapiro

 We are loved by an unending love.
 We are embraced by arms that find us
even when we are hidden from ourselves.
We are touched by fingers that soothe us
even when we are too proud for soothing.
We are counseled by voices that guide us
even when we are too embittered to hear.
We are loved by an unending love.

We are supported by hands that uplift us
even in the midst of a fall.
We are urged on by eyes that meet us
even when we are too weak for meeting.
We are loved by an unending love.
Embraced, soothed and counseled,
Ours are the arms, the fingers, the voices;
Ours are the hands, the eyes, the smiles;
We are loved by an unending love.
