Simonton Programme

A dream came true. The renowned Simonton Program will be established in South Africa. A first group of people, four South Africans and three Dutchmen, came together for a first session last April. In a beautiful and healing retreat at Bergplaas Nature Reserve that proved to be the perfect place to connect with nature and the healing power of mind, body and spirit. You can now register for the next session that will start on Sunday April 21 and ends Saturday April 28 2012.

The healing and transformative effects of Bergplaas will greatly enhance the healing process. The vast open spaces allow for introspection, solitude and connecting with yourself through Nature.

The Simonton Programme teaches increasing survival, decreasing tumour growths and improving the quality of life for individuals. Dr Simonton pioneered this treatment after discovering beliefs, feelings, attitudes and lifestyle are important factors affecting health.

The programme is for people dealing with cancer and their support persons; as well as for people interested in being trained in the Simonton method, or for those wanting to develop a new attitude towards life and health.

The sessions will be led by a team of therapists who have been with the Simonton Cancer Center for many years. Patricia Palmer will lead the course (US, Psychotherapist, EdD and Cancer Counselor for over 40 years) together with Barbara de Beukelaar (NL, Certified Simonton Counselor in 2006 and Teacher since 2010).
