Review for WeSPARK Cancer Support Center, Sherman Oaks, CA, USA
I attended WeSpark as a post treatment cancer patient and my experiences there were so healing. It was literally my bridge back to a new sense of myself. I participated in many of the classes, (yoga, creative writing, mindfulness meditation) workshops, seminars, jewelry making evenings and healing energy work there. I felt so embraced in a safe soft harbor and was in such a raw emotional and physical place that I feel it really was the key to my recovery after being thru so much trauma and illness, sadness and fear. I cannot say enough about the loving kindness and the staff at WeSpark. I remember thinking - everyone needs a place like this - not just when you're ill or recovering, but when you're well and strong - imagine a safe harbor that nurtures you from the inside out. It was the safest place I've ever been before - a huge and wonderful gift in my life.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
my recovery from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, from post traumatic stress and emotional devestation from my illness. The writing class especially was so cathartic in my healing and in sharing with others - also the post treatment support group to connect with others with the same experience.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Less rigid in some ways than it was when I first attended and more parking!

What, if any, change in your life has this group encouraged?
The unconditional acceptance, the listening and sharing with others from the same place/experience fear and healing. I liken it to being a war veteran. NO one gets it like the people that have suffered thru it. The creative writing and the post treatment discussions really were a life line to me in my recovery like nothing else.
Review for WeSPARK Cancer Support Center, Sherman Oaks, CA, USA
WeSpark was the biggest part of my healing process after my battle w/Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. It was at WESPARK that I was able to come back to my new life post treatment. I was given the opportunity to be with like minded others at such a crucial time in my life - there is no greater healing that to be in a place of compassion and understanding after so much fear, illness and trauma. WeSPark is such a loving comforting place full of creative outlets, creative writing, support groups, workshops, yoga, bio feedback, energy work and so much more. We are so lucky to have a place like this - I can't say enough as to how it enabled me to get thru the hardest part of my life.
