WELL-BEING AND STRESS REDUCTION FOR WOMEN DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER.

Have you been diagnosed with breast cancer within the past 5 years, are
you older than 18, and do you consider this a significant event in your life?

Are you interested in participating in a mind-body stress-reduction
program (Art of Living course) that has been shown to help many
participants reduce stress; relieve depression and anxiety; increase
energy, focus and clarity; enhance sense of peace, enthusiasm, and joy?

The course is offered FREE as a part of a doctoral dissertation research study
at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology.

What does the course and the study involve?

8 weeks’ participation during which you will:
Attend a course for 8 consecutive days in Palo-Alto (between 3.5 and 5
hours each day) during which you will learn powerful breathing techniques
and tools that have been shown to improve health and wellness in many
participants.

The 8 day long course (group format) will start in September.

1. 9/9-9/16 offered in the evening on weekdays and in the morning on Saturday and Sunday.
2. 9/16-9/23 offered in the morning during all days of the course.

Attend a 2 hour meeting once a week for 5 weeks following the 8 day
course.
