Life Force Memories Day

In October each year we celebrate Life Force Memories Day.
A time to remember all those who have been part of the Life Force Family over the years, all those who have died, who have gone before us and have enriched our lives through their presence.
In our 26th Anniversary Year as a charitable institution, we honour them all, and thank them for the gifts they have given us.
We stay in connection with those who have gone. Though their lives seem to have been lost, we always remember them and so they continue to be part of our ongoing story. They will always be with us inspiring us to continue.

We honour all who have lost their lives to cancer, and send our loving thoughts and wishes to those who love them. Please join us on Facebook on October 19 to celebrate the lives of all who showed us the way and all those in our community living with cancer today, cancer survivors and those who love and care for them. Light a candle in memory of someone whose life you would like to celebrate. Send messages of love and hope to all who are going through the experience of cancer today.

Remember to save the date: October 19 – Life Force Memories Day
1995 to 2021 – on Facebook.

Life Force is here to offer loving care and support to people of all genders and all cancer types at all stages of the cancer journey.

FINDING OUR LIFE FORCE

LIFE FORCE BOOK

You can read more stories from people who have attended our support groups in “FINDING OUR LIFE FORCE” - a book about healing and dealing with cancer.

The book contains three sections: the first is a series of meditations, the second contains seventeen stories written by people who have had cancer and who have cared for someone with cancer, and the third section has essays on healing through music, art, and journaling.

There isn’t a book like this on the market.

With an introduction by Professor Michael Friedlander AM, patron of Life Force Cancer Foundation, and the foreword by Lisa Forrest.

The book can be purchased through our website here.

A Note Regarding Corona Virus / COVID-19

We advise the following:

As from today, Monday 23 March 2020, until further notice, Life Force Cancer Foundation will be running support group meetings online using Zoom.
A separate email will be sent to current attendees with instructions on how to log in.

Support Group are run on Mondays from 6 to 7.30 pm.

Carers' Support Group Zoom are run on Thursdays from 6 to 7.30 pm

They will follow the same format as the physical support meetings:

6 pm - 7.00 pm: group sharing, guided by a counsellor

7.00 - 7.30 pm: meditation

It is not the intention of Life Force Cancer Foundation that online meetings are the ongoing format, this is a precaution and a solution to give you the support you need to manage your situation with the ongoing effects of cancer, while keeping you safe from potential infection of a virus as serious as Covid-19. When the environment is considered safe again Life Force shall resume all our physical meetings as usual.
If you are interested in joining a support group or Carer's support meeting, please contact Jane on 0412 643 751. Click here for What We Do
We urge all our members to take care of their health and if you are feeling ill to consult your doctor immediately. Click here for a list of testing clinics in NSW

Sound Bath for Life Force Cancer Foundation

Regrettably, given the latest Covid update, it is necessary to postpone the Sound Bath event until after the lockdown has been lifted. Date to be advised. Stay tuned for further information.

Come along to a fundraising event for Life Force. The beautiful Anastasia from Genesis of Health will be playing her crystal singing bowls in a “Sound Bath” – or sound healing at the Annandale Community Centre. All the proceeds of the Sound Bath will go to Life Force Cancer Foundation.

Life Force Cancer Foundation Morning Tea

Get online & host a virtual morning tea

Just arranging a virtual morning tea with your bestie and donating $10 to Life Force Cancer foundation just might mean you directly help a patient or a carer impacted by cancer.

Day Retreats

Life Force Cancer Foundation day retreats give you the opportunity to escape your normal routine and stresses for a day.

Each day is tailored to give you an experience of peace and nurturing, to help bring balance to your body and peace to your mind.

We provide sessions of gentle exercise, meditation, aromatherapy, and art therapy. We also serve delicious healthy food, for morning tea and lunch.

The day is led by our team of compassionate, experienced and qualified instructors.

The fee for the day is $120 and is purely to cover the costs of one instructor, food and materials.

The minimum size of the group is 5 with a maximum of 10.
