This is an interview with Richard Pemberton, who completed Level 5 in November 2011. He travelled all the way from Nottingham to London as he couldn’t find anything like it nearer him.
Among the topics he covers are:
- what he found attractive about the Healing Journey
- how the programme has helped him become more accepting of himself and has improved his relationship with his sons
- why he made a round trip journey of nine hours every Tuesday in order to attend the Healing Journey sessions in London
- how he has benefitted from the camaraderie, support and friendship of being in a group of people with cancer and carers.
“For me, coming down to London on a Tuesday for the Healing Journey has been the highlight of my week for months and months…. And I look forward to it every week and I have benefitted immensely…. It’s been an absolute joy attending the Healing Journey and I couldn’t have imagined that year and a bit without these Tuesday evenings. They have been really, I think, what’s kept me going and I would recommend the programme to any person with cancer or caring for someone with cancer.”
