Retreats

Breast cancer changes everything. Most people who have been through the experience describe two lives: life before cancer and life after or with breast cancer.

Even those who have finished treatment with a good prognosis are troubled with a number of thoughts: How can I stay healthy? Who am I now? What are my new or renewed priorities? How can I help my loved ones understand how I feel?

During our retreats, participants explore what it means to have a healthy mind, body and spirit in their new life. Each participant brings their own unique experience and perspective regardless of diagnosis.

The experience is designed to foster personal renewal, facilitate a shared journey with others and forge bonds of encouragement among people traveling the same road. Participants tell us they leave our retreats feeling inspired with a personal self-care plan and new friends for support along the way!

Note: Retreats are designed for those who are out of treatment or those living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Treatment includes surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. This does not include reconstruction surgery.
