Life-Balancing Women’s Wellness Retreats for Breast Cancer Survivors
Welcome to Grass Lake Sanctuary’s Women’s Wellness Retreats for Breast Cancer Survivors who have completed treatment and are looking for the next step toward life-balance!
We have found that bonding and sharing stories with other survivors, receiving the heartfelt compassion and nurturing touch of our WW staff, all within the beautiful healing presence of Grass Lake Sanctuary, is powerfully transformative in helping breast cancer survivors release trauma – old or new – and re-enter their lives with joy and ease. Whether you completed treatment 20 years ago or this year, and, regardless of your financial situation, we believe every woman deserves this opportunity for a deeply healing retreat experience!
Year-Round Peer-to-Peer Support Circles and Peer Mentorship Training Opportunities
All alumni from our Women’s Wellness Retreats are also invited to participate for free in our year-round Peer-to-Peer program, with ongoing support circles and Peer Mentorship Training opportunities! Many alumni have found the skills they have received through this training helpful in every aspect of their lives — from relationships with friends and family, to advancing their career path, to working to bring positive change to their communities!
If you or someone you know is a woman diagnosed with breast cancer having completed active treatment and is interested in taking the next steps toward wellness, contact us to learn more about how you may qualify for these highly transformational programs.
