Each of our programs are designed with care, ensuring that our Hope Circle members have access to the support, resources, and encouragement they need, all year round. Whether you’re seeking connection, inspiration, or simply a place to feel understood, we invite you to join us in any of our uplifting experiences.
No one should have to face cancer alone. That’s why our All Cancer Life Group, led by licensed social worker Lynn Allsup, provides a compassionate, judgment-free space where cancer patients can come together, share their experiences, and find comfort among others who truly understand. Whether you’re seeking encouragement, guidance, or just a listening ear, this group is here to help you process the emotional and mental impact of cancer. Together, we navigate the ups and downs of treatment, offering hope and healing every step of the way.
What we eat plays a crucial role in healing and overall well-being. Join local registered dietitian Carina Myatt as she shares expert nutrition advice tailored specifically for cancer patients. In these interactive sessions, Carina demonstrates easy, delicious plant-based recipes packed with nutrients to help boost immunity, support recovery, and increase energy. Whether you’re looking for ways to manage treatment side effects through food or simply want to embrace a healthier lifestyle, this class will empower you with the knowledge and confidence to make nourishing choices. Plus, you’ll get to sample some of the tasty creations!
Creativity is a powerful tool for healing, and Art Expressions gives you the chance to explore it in a fun, relaxed environment. Led by our wonderful volunteer Annie Fincher, this group allows participants to express emotions, relieve stress, and find joy through a variety of arts and crafts activities. Whether it’s painting, sculpting, or creating mixed media pieces, each project is designed to help you tap into your inner artist and embrace self-expression. No experience necessary, just bring an open heart and a willingness to explore the therapeutic power of art!
A cancer diagnosis can be life-changing, and for those living with metastatic cancer, the journey can bring unique challenges. Hearts of Resilience is a special support group that provides a safe, understanding space for metastatic cancer patients to share their experiences, fears, and triumphs. Previously led by Charliss Rodgers, this group is currently in transition but remains a place of strength, encouragement, and deep connection. Here, we honor every journey and celebrate the resilience of those facing terminal cancer with courage and grace.
If you’re a breast cancer survivor, this group is for you! Young and the Breastless is a lively, supportive space where survivors can come together, share their stories, and build lifelong friendships. Whether you’re navigating post-treatment challenges, seeking advice, or just looking for a group of strong women who truly understand, this is the place to be. With laughter, heartfelt conversations, and plenty of encouragement, Y&B is a reminder that survivorship is a journey best traveled with friends by your side.
Sometimes, a little escape is exactly what we need. Thanks to our partnership with Midland Community Theater (MCT), Hope Circle members receive complimentary tickets to every performance throughout the year! From uplifting musicals and thought-provoking dramas to heartwarming comedies, these shows provide a much-needed break from the stress of treatment and a chance to immerse yourself in the magic of live theater. It’s our way of bringing a little extra joy and inspiration to your journey.
Movement is medicine, and thanks to our partnership with the YMCA, Hope Circle members have free access to their facilities to promote physical health and wellness. Whether you’re looking to stay active with gentle exercise, take a swim, or try a group fitness class, the YMCA provides a welcoming space to focus on your well-being. Staying active can help boost energy, reduce stress, and improve overall health, and with this partnership, you have all the resources you need to get moving at your own pace!
Breathe, stretch, and find your balance at our weekly Yoga Sanctuary sessions. Led by skilled instructors in a peaceful and supportive environment, these classes help reduce stress, improve flexibility, and promote overall well-being. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or a complete beginner, yoga offers a wonderful way to reconnect with your body, quiet the mind, and find inner peace during your cancer journey. This partnership ensures that you have access to mindful movement and relaxation every single week.
In the midst of life’s challenges, finding a moment of peace can be transformative. Our Healing Garden is a serene outdoor space designed for reflection, meditation, and quiet contemplation. Here, you can take a break from the stress of treatment, breathe in fresh air, and soak in the calming beauty of nature. Whether you’re journaling, practicing mindfulness, or simply enjoying the warmth of the sun, this space offers a gentle reminder to slow down, be present, and embrace healing at your own pace.
Art has the power to heal, and thanks to a generous grant from the Arts Council, a select group of Hope Circle members can dive even deeper into creative expression. Under the guidance of talented local artists, participants explore different artistic mediums, from painting and sculpture to textile arts and mixed media. This extended series provides not just an artistic outlet, but a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and healing through creativity.
Four times a year, we invite our Hope Circle members to step away from daily stresses and immerse themselves in a day of self-care, relaxation, and connection. Our Quarterly Retreats bring together the best of art, nutrition, and yoga in beautiful venues throughout the community. Whether it’s a lakeside escape, a cozy retreat center, or a peaceful garden setting, each retreat is thoughtfully designed to rejuvenate the body, uplift the spirit, and foster deep connections with fellow survivors.
Survivorship comes with its own challenges, and we are honored to facilitate A Time to Heal, a 9-week research-based program designed to improve survivor outcomes. This comprehensive curriculum provides cancer survivors with the tools to enhance physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being post-treatment. Through expert-led sessions, practical strategies, and group discussions, participants learn how to regain strength, manage lingering side effects, and embrace life beyond cancer with renewed confidence and purpose.
We actively participate in events that honor, support, and uplift cancer patients, survivors, and their families. These gatherings bring our community together to celebrate resilience, raise awareness, and strengthen the support network for those affected by cancer. Join us at one of our upcoming events!
Each year, we host a joyful gathering at Hope House to honor cancer survivors across the Permian Basin. Survivors and their families are invited to enjoy a day of celebration, complete with refreshments, music, ribbon-tying ceremonies, and an inspirational survival story from someone who has triumphed over cancer. It’s a special day to reflect on the journey, celebrate life, and find encouragement in a community of fellow survivors.
Join us for our 5th annual Keys for Hope fundraiser, where we raise essential funds to support cancer patients in need. The event features a morning clay shoot at Jake’s Clays, open to the public for team sponsorship. In the evening, we turn up the energy with a Desert Purple Party at the Petroleum Club, bringing together supporters, survivors, and community members for an unforgettable night of fun, philanthropy, and hope.
Join us at Centennial Park for our 5th annual Pink in the Park event, dedicated to breast cancer awareness and survivor celebration. The day will feature a variety of local vendors, exciting raffle prizes, custom t-shirts, live music, delicious food, and more.
