TOGETHER SMALL NUMBERS OF PEOPLE IMPACTED BY A CONDITION OR
CIRCUMSTANCE TO SHARE EXPERIENCES AND HARVEST COLLECTIVE WISDOM.
HEALING CIRCLES IS A PEER-led process by which PEOPLE SUPPORT EACH
OTHER THROUGH DEEP LISTENING AND SHARED LEARNING. When working at its
best, this collaborative conversation model leads to authentic and
deep connectivity and can create wisdom and HEALING FOR PARTICIPANTS.

survivor/thriver since 1998 and have had LYMPHEDEMA SINCE 2002. I
initially had so much trouble finding information on LYMPHEDEMA THAT I
WENT ONLINE AND FOUND AN EXERCISE PROGRAM THAT WAS DEVELOPED TO
MAINTAIN LYMPHEDEMA. I became an instructor, then trainer, and finally
acquired the program in 2014. I currently teach classes in central
Virginia. I’m also a regional coordinator for Chronic Disease Self
Management workshops, so actively work with small groups of
participants for them to self-manage their chronic conditions. I am
also a volunteer Ombudsman with the local Agency on Aging and a
volunteer with the Alzheimer’s Association as a support group
facilitator and speaker. + Google Calendar + iCal Export Details Date:
