Seeds of Healing: A Therapeutic Horticultural Group for Women with a Diagnosis of Breast Cancer
Cultivating healing, connection, and growth—together.
This 4-part workshop series is designed for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, to be supported by nature and a nurturing community.
Through Horticultural Therapy, time in nature, and creative, plant-y projects, participants will find tools for self-care, stress reduction, and renewal. Each session provides a safe space for reflection, education, and support from others who truly understand.
✨ Each session includes:
• A hands-on, plant-based creative self-care project (with a take-home!)
• Guided education on common survivorship concerns
• Space for connection, reflection, and shared experience
• A dose of healing nature, whether through forest bathing or mindfulness
🌿 Sample activities include:
• Creating a succulent dish garden or DIY natural salt scrub
• Grounding meditation and breathwork
• A forest bathing experience to promote relaxation and natural healing
You’ve been through a life-changing journey—this group is here to help you move forward feeling supported, seen, and rooted in renewal.
