A grounded, practical guide to using movement, dance, drawing, expression, as tools to heal the body of cancer. Exercises and creative visualizations to bring groups in direct participation with the healing process, incorporating the entire body and spirit with breath, movement, creativity, and visualizations. Geared towards teachers, guides, or moderators who may be interested in leading classes or seminars in the field, after thoroughly examining and experiencing the process first hand. Lots of photographs illustrating the process, showing examples of artwork produced in the workshops, and tips on how to bring out the most expressive, creative, healing movement and dance pieces in a safe, unself-conscious, and liberating manner. Inspiring. Recommended.

A revised edition of "Dance As A Healing Art" by Anna Halprin, Returning to Health with Dance, Movement, and Imagery is the personal and compelling memoir of a cancer survivor and dance teacher who navigated the difficult road to wellness and healing. Telling her courageous, inspiring story in her own words, Returning To Health With Dance, Movement, And Imagery is highly recommended reading, especially for anyone having to deal with cancer and in need of an uplifting, positive read.
