Gloria is hoping to participate in a 5-week Mindfulness for Cancer Resilience program in Denver, CO.
She was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in the fall of 2022. Her rounds of chemotherapy and radiation have stabilized tumor growth and she's now looking for more holistic care in the form of mind-body therapies.
The MBCR program includes four weeks of 2-hour classes followed by a half-day retreat. Participants learn tools to manage anxiety, insomnia, mood swings, pain, and grief through breathing exercises, gentle movement, visualization, mindfulness practice, and group discussion.
The program provides a workbook and handouts, a meditation seat, guided meditation MP3s, journal, two individual zoom meetings with the MBCR facilitator, and a copy of the Mindfulness for Cancer Recovery book.
Contributions will go directly to the Center for Wisdom and Wellness founder Cierra McNamara who facilitates these MBCR classes. Donations in any amount help Gloria reach her tuition goals.
