Our Sanctuary Days and Natural Rhythms group have been inspired by the work of Michael Kearney, Consultant in Palliative Medicine in Dublin; the ancient Greeks and by listening to what patients have told us. We wanted to offer people a chance to step away from the aspect of their cancer treatments that involved being done unto. By deliberately offering people the chance to be in nature to re-connect with the changing patterns of the seasons with it’s repeating cycle of life, death and rebirth, we trust nature will offer powerful metaphors and gentle glimpses of hope and give people a sense of healing at many levels. Re-connecting to the rhythm of the season and associated festivals, myths and stories seems to help people slow down, experience the moment and receive the wisdom from within nature and/or simply experience more deeply the rhythm of their own breath.
