Every episode of the show has been extremely special and personally meaningful.
Today’s interview covers a few topics that have (or will) impact us all in some way… cancer, caregiving, and compassion.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 1,958,310 new cancer cases and 609,820 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States in 2023.
A recent report shows that about 36% of family caregivers struggle with excessive stress.
Compassion is a heart-centered expression of love for those who are suffering, which is part of the human experience.
Welcome to Episode Seventeen of The Nature of Wellness Podcast.
On the latest episode, we sat down with the staff of Harmony Hill Healing Retreat Center.
Located in the picturesque town of Union, Washington, Harmony Hill opened its doors in 1986 as a nonprofit retreat facility focusing on creating space for individuals to “experience renewal and deep well-being.”
Harmony Hill began offering a Cancer Program in 1994, welcoming all of those affected by cancer. The cancer-related programs have been offered at NO CHARGE since 2004.
Known for the hospitality of a nurturing staff, delicious meals and a world-class natural environment, Harmony Hill strives to “inspire healthy living for all and transform the lives of those affected by cancer,” including caregivers and healthcare professionals.
Join us as we showcase some of the incredible programs and facility offerings, such as the walking meditation labyrinth, "grief grove," and life-altering wind phone (one of only a handful in existence). We also discuss how to support such important work.
The staff embodies the heart-centered approach of the Harmony Hill mission. In the interview, they emphasized the importance of holistic programming, their decisions to include caregivers in the programs, an in-depth description of their life-altering facility, and how nature plays an important role in healing.
Mark has witnessed the amazing impact this amazing facility has on attendees and guests, as well as how it is woven into the fabric of the surrounding community, first hand.
If you have been affected by cancer in some way, please take a look at Harmony Hill's site to see how you can help these amazing programs. If you are currently impacted by cancer, please reach out to see if their programming can help.
This conversation was truly a healing experience.
