About the Conferences

This year’s conferences focus in on the deeper forces at work affecting our overall longevity and, therefore of great importance to anyone faced with a diagnosis of cancer. It has now been recognised that although factors such as diet and exercise are crucial elements to any lifestyle recovery programme, the effect of these will be seriously undermined if issues such as chronic stress, unresolved trauma, poor social connections and loneliness, disconnection from nature and its rhythms, or fundamental lack of purpose are not addressed. Our speakers will explore the science behind these findings and the available resources and support to embrace the changes required to reclaim our true nature.
For 2026, Yes to Life is combining forces with Dr Sam Watts of Mind-Body Medical to build two groundbreaking programmes that aim to elevate awareness of the importance of non-physical factors in cancer survivorship. While it has long been felt by many that these factors are of supreme relevance to the many cases of exceptional survivorship, this has now become a matter of scientific understanding, as the research continues to confirm the many ways in which non-physical factors can undermine our physical health - and of course, conversely - can positively impact outcomes.

"Accepting Challenges as Opportunities"

With Petrea King. At the core of many spiritual traditions lies the idea of acceptance of ‘what is’, and surrender. Focusing on the first of these, we are taught that by embracing the truth of our current situation (what scientists have termed ‘active acceptance’) we can release the tension that exists when we hold ourselves away or resist what is happening and by doing so take our first steps towards healing.
