2025:02.07 - Robin Daly - 2025 Public Forum on Healing with Integrative Cancer Care

Robin Daly speaks at the 2025 Public Forum on Healing with Integrative Cancer Care in February. The gathering was designed to bridges wisdom traditions with emerging frontiers in healing. This year's forum explores transformation through the intersections of integrative cancer care with consciousness and healing arts, featuring distinguished speakers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds. The day included engaging presentations on patient advocacy, expressive arts, and innovative approaches to cancer care. Robin Daly is Chairman & Founder of Yes to Life, a UK Registered Charity. Robin has no training or background in healthcare, but was plunged into the arena in 1990 when his youngest daughter Bryony was diagnosed with cancer, aged 9. She went on to be re-diagnosed twice with treatment-related cancers, eventually dying at 23. The immense difficulties the family faced introducing treatment choices that reflected their own understanding of health and wellbeing prompted him to set up Yes to Life in 2004 to help others in similar situations, and to advocate on behalf of patients for what is now called Integrative Oncology. Yes to Life is now celebrating its 20th Anniversary having helped many thousands with cancer with a wide range of supportive resources, and continues to play a key role in changing the discussion around cancer care.
