Who We Are

The Virginia Thurston Healing Garden, a cancer support community, is located on two acres of woodlands and gardens in Harvard, Massachusetts. Through in-person and virtual options, we provide educational programs and classes, experiential stress-reducing activities, and complementary therapeutic services to adults of any gender with any type of cancer at any stage, their caregivers, and those who are bereaved from cancer who live in Massachusetts. ​

The Healing Garden provides complementary and therapeutic support in six key areas: movement and nutrition, expressive arts, bodywork, support groups, meditation/mindfulness, and education.
