Bill, Please don’t jump to conclusions. We have doctors and therapists leading the reasearch
We seek to examine the effect of the power of the “shared experience” on the quality of life of those battling cancer. Through this examination we aim to raise awareness of these practices as well as to look at the debate surrounding the issue of non-medical healing.
“Over the course of one year we will document and follow a group of women with various cancers who will meet as a group once a week for sixteen weeks and then once a month for the next eight months. It will be these women’s stories and experiences that will be at the heart of the film. We will film all the group sessions, and each member will also be given a video camera to record a personal video journal. We will also film interviews with each group member, their families, their doctors, some leading researchers in the field and those invited to speak to the group.
The three main aspects that the group will focus on will be stress reduction, psycho education, and group discussion. It’s about the power of the shared experience. To feel more connected by becoming part of a comforting and comfortable community of people who understand what you’re going through, because they are going through it too. It’s about dealing with the very real emotional issues that cancer can cause by offering trained, experienced counseling and support.”

Yes it is a video documentary and there is no client. The tricking thing is that the group of people wont always just be sitting. They will be doing yoga, meditation, as well as group discussion.
What about hanging 4 supercardioid mics from the drop ceiling and running them to an Edirol mixer/recorder?
