Supporting Blokes Group via Zoom – 4 September

Join us via Zoom with Think Pink’s own Jamie Kelly and guest speaker Sandy Buchanan with meditation. Sandy will be speaking from 6:30-7:30, with the Supporting Blokes group resuming from 7:30-8:00.

The benefits of meditation practice have been known in eastern traditions for 1000’s of years. Modern medicine now recognises these benefits which include: the relief of physical tension, calmness and more clarity in thought and heightened levels of wellbeing (Gawler, 2013).

Drawing on over 20 years of meditation training and practice, Sandra offers classes in Mindfulness Based Stillness Meditation (MBSM), for Think Pink Foundation. MBSM is an ideal method for everyone interested in health, healing and wellbeing, especially beginners to meditation. This meditation technique involves four easy to learn and easy to practice steps: Preparation, Relaxation, Mindfulness and Stillness.

The aim of MBSM is to learn to deeply relax the body, to calm the mind and to progress using mindfulness into the deeper stillness of meditation.

The Supporting Blokes Support Group is a group for the male partners of women affected by breast cancer. Having a loved one diagnosed with breast cancer can have an impact on relationships and the family unit.

This group offers men a chance to share experiences, learn coping strategies and gather information. We discuss how you can best support your partner through this difficult journey.  The sessions are a safe space to share, learn and help each other get through this hurdle. The sessions are run by our Breast Care Nurse Consultant Jamie Kelly and we are often joined by a guest speaker to offer their expertise on a particular breast cancer topic or men’s health topic.

The Supporting Blokes group meets the first Wednesday of every month usually from 7.30pm-8.30pm. We appreciate that people have busy lives and we understand if you can only join for part of the session.

If you are thinking of joining, please come along and give it a try!
