what students are saying
“TI know that once a week I’m going to be with a compassionate group, an informed group, a group of other people who have cancer as well, and everyone is going to have a chance to say a bit about what’s happening with them. To ask any questions they need to ask — and I mean any questions — that people are going to truly listen. And this relieves my wife and my family of some of the tension and anxiety that having cancer stimulates. It isn’t therapy, it’s something more. It’s the sense of liberation that comes from being able to expose yourself at your most vulnerable.”
“While we are creating in whatever way we want to, we’re also talking, sharing, developing community, and that’s one of the things I think is a big part of my experience with Gilda’s Club.
That not only are you involved in the event, not only are you doing yoga, not only are you drawing or painting or sewing — you’re in a community and you are receiving support from the instructors and the other women and men who are involved.”
