  The purpose of this study is to explore the transformative potential of spiritually aligned mindfulness practices tailored for Black adult cancer survivors. Recognizing the unique cultural and spiritual needs of this group, the research seeks to develop and evaluate a faith-based Mindfulness Based Intervention (MBI) model designed to enhance resilience and improve Quality of Life (QoL) during cancer survivorship. This goal will be achieved through two objectives: (i)develop a culturally modified MBSR curriculum that is adapted to align with congruent faith-based religious practices; (ii) test the impact of the developed culturally modified MBI intervention on improvement of wellbeing and QoL.
