A TIME TO REFLECT
& REDEFINE YOUR AFTER-CANCER SELF
RRetreats offer the opportunity to reflect on the impact of cancer on your life, the difficulties and the potentials that exist as a result.
Our Revive Retreats series is Pink Lemonade Project’s original program. Each retreat is led by experienced oncology facilitators to provide guidance and counseling in a relaxing, soothing atmosphere surrounded by nature and overlooking the beautiful Columbia Gorge. In 2025, we will offer two weekend retreats for those who have completed treatment or those living with metastatic breast cancer (MBC). In addition, we will offer a one-day retreat specifically for our MBC community and a one- day retreat for our Latina support group members, which will be Spanish speaking only.
Our retreats are free, although guests for the weekend retreats will pay a $96 deposit to hold their space for the weekend. The deposit is refunded after the retreat. You can pay the deposit here.
As a retreat guest, you will be given time to consider the impact of cancer on your life and to reflect upon both the difficulties and the potentials that exist as a result. Experience renewal, shared journeying, and encouragement among people who understand what you’re going through because they are on the same road. At the end of the retreat, we hope you emerge with renewed perspectives, ready to jump back into your daily life.
Please read through the retreat descriptions carefully. Deposits are paid only after a confirmed reservation with Pink Lemonade Project staff and retreat facilitators. Only pay a deposit after being instructed by PLP staff. Applying for a retreat does not guarantee attendance and admittance is first come, first served. Those who have not attended a Revive Retreat will be given first priority. Pink Lemonade Project is not responsible for travel arrangements.
Note: Overnight camping in tents, RVs and trailers is not permitted at Menucha. In addition, RV’s and trailers are not permitted to park at the facility.
Revive Retreat reservations are prioritized for Oregon and Washington residents.

Current 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: Revive 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.
