Naturopathic group program
Strengthen your self-healing powers
The naturopathic group program "Strengthen your self-healing powers" at the Klaus Bahlsen Centre for Integrative Oncology is aimed at patients who have cancer and are looking for new ways to optimize the course of their disease. The aim of the holistic therapy concept is to demonstrate and internalize how self-help strategies can be used to alleviate the side effects of conventional therapy (chemotherapy, radiotherapy) and possible late effects, such as fatigue syndrome. In addition to the oncological treatment, you can actively strengthen your self-healing powers and learn how to better deal with the disease and the resulting effects on your environment. Participation in the group program is free of charge.
The group program takes place with 10-12 patients in a fixed group during or after cancer therapy and lasts 10 weeks.
Note: In order to participate in the group program, a consultation with the naturopathic counselor must have taken place beforehand.

Experiences of participants
"My big thank you goes to Prof. Steinmann, who brought the naturopathic seminar to life with great commitment, filled it with life with great empathy and guided us through the seminar days with great appreciation. This appreciation was transferred to the participants - we became closer as people and were able to build up contacts with each other."
"At the end of the seminar, Prof. Steinmann asked all participants to write each other a card with a few personal words - personal impressions of each other. This was a good opportunity to wish each other all the best for the future. And the cards stay with us longer than the spoken word alone."
"The seminar offers a colorful bouquet of possibilities of what we can do for ourselves during and after cancer so that we feel well and can get and stay healthy. In lectures and trial sessions, we were given insights into methods that can support our well-being. FOR EXAMPLE Relaxation and movement - various meditations, yoga and Feldenkrais, self-care - e.g. The Temple of Health and Transformation of Thoughts, ..."
"There was something for everyone that they can take with them and integrate into life with or after cancer that can improve their personal situation."
"I liked the course because many areas/possibilities for further support were presented. The structure was clearly communicated and adhered to (agenda). Despite the "basement room", there was a pleasant/relaxed atmosphere. You could relax, get tips and also talk about your own problems - if you wanted to."
"For me personally, the group program was a supportive way of finding my bearings after the very stressful treatment period. I thought the wide range of offers in the group program was great."
"What I particularly liked about the group program was that we saw many possibilities of what we could do to get through "everyday life" in a better (more mindful) way... I thought the structure of the group day was great... the morning "meditation" and the discussion groups... and then the many suggestions of things we could do, e.g. laughter yoga. I was able to laugh again after a long time and that moved me to tears..."
"The program was so successful that I would highly recommend it to any cancer patient or anyone with a chronic illness. My initial scepticism was immediately dispelled. I still do the 20 minutes of morning exercise, yoga, meditation, wild track and tapping therapy. Not forgetting all the lectures on nutrition, natural healing methods, dietary supplements, etc."
