The conversation will be moderated by Voice of San Diego’s Environment Reporter, MacKenzie Elmer. Visit San Diego Museum of Art on Facebook + Instagram + @SDMA on Twitter

The Healing Circle Support groups have been shown to help with the healing process as they remind us that we are not alone. At Revivorship, our initial cancer support group will be “the healing circle:” for cancer patients, survivors, and thrivers. Sessions will be interactive with group participation for those who wish to share, not only the difficulties they are presently facing, but the insights they have gleaned from illnesses that are healing. Our moderator, Nancy Heldt, is herself a cancer survivor and a two-time caregiver who understands and supports your process. You do not need to be a Revivorship patient outside of this group to participate.
