Callanish Cancer Support Groups

Provided by Callanish Society

Callanish creates a healing space for people who have been irrevocably changed by cancer.
Callanish inspires those who are living with and/or dying from cancer to reconnect with the essentials of life - and in doing so, to feel soothed, strengthened and restored. Ongoing programs include:
  • Individual/Family Support In-person or via Zoom: A team of registered professionals are available for counselling, artistic support, massage therapy and support groups. Please call or email for more information, and/or to be connected to a therapist. Available by appointment.
  • Meditation & Council via Zoom: For those who feel drawn to some quiet time for reflection. Friends and family welcome. By donation. Open to all. Available on Mondays from 1:00pm to 2:30pm.
  • Callanish Writes In-Person: Exploring life through the written word, within a supportive community. No writing experience required. By donation. Open to past retreat participants. Available typically on Tuesdays once a month from 1:30pm to 4:30pm.
  • Creative Arts Circle: An invitation into the art studio for some gentle exploration of your creative side. No previous creative arts experience necessary.
