KLATCH Women’s Creativity Group Now Forming in the Hill Country
ormer Natural Awakenings Publisher Karen Goins is
launching a new women’s creativity group that will meet monthly at her Bella Green B&B and Retreat Center in Pipe Creek. The concept is to create a monthly improvisational “play day” using Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way” as a foundation for exploration.
Goins has named the new
group “Creativity Klatch” and says all skill levels (including those with no experience) are welcome. Creativity Klatch will “klatch” from a wide variety of genres and projects based on input and interests from group members. “Come prepared to have fun,
get messy, let go of stress and get to know your innately creative self,” Goins says.
The new group meets the 4th Sunday of the month from
2-5 p.m. at Bella Green’s new Studio. For information, contact Karen Goins at 210-251-5766 or email
askkaren@gmail.com. For more about Bella Green, visit

ne of San Antonio’s most highly regarded cancer treatment groups is
embracing integrative healing and treatment through its new Integrative Oncology Division. In December, Oncology San Antonio launched the new integrative division by welcoming Integrative Oncologist Dr. Helen Goldberg to the group. Dr. Goldberg, who is familiar to Natural Awakenings readers through her occasional
articles, will incorporate evidence-based integrative modalities into cancer treatment plans that include conventional radiation therapy, chemotherapy and palliative care. “The physicians (at Oncology San Antonio) share my philosophy about
integrative oncology… that it provides total care for the patient’s body, mind and spirit,” says Dr. Goldberg, who opened the Blue Sage Center for Integrative Oncology in San Antonio in July 2012. Dr. Goldberg will work with Dr. Zulfi Jaffar to develop individualized cancer treatment plans that provide primary oncology care enhanced by integrative practices such as anti-cancer lifestyle guidance, nutrition plans, nutritional supplements, and symptom and stress management through guided imagery, massage and yoga. After graduating from Medical College of Pennsylvania and completing an internal medicine residency and hematology/oncology fellowship at Duke University Medical Center, Dr. Goldberg practiced traditional oncology for a number of years. Her interest in integrative medicine led her to complete a two-year fellowship at the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine under Dr. Andrew Weil. “One of my goals is to reach people before they have cancer, so we will be offering a series of classes and workshops to teach the ‘anti-cancer lifestyle’ and other ways to prevent cancer,” she says.
