Cancer Support

“First Weekend Retreats” held at Wayne’s House in collaboration with Further Shore. *see the Further Shore web site for a complete listing of all “First Weekend Retreats” offered www.furthershore.org . VTara will co-facilitate several retreats specifically designed for Cancer Survivors. A safe, nonjudgmental space for participants to share experiences by providing a caring environment that opens us to a deep level of intimacy. This retreat setting will encompass cancer patients at a variety of places along the journey, newly diagnosed as well as long term survivors.

As a new cancer survivor, I realize that it is important for cancer survivors to take time, to truly acknowledge their life accomplishments and contributions made as well as truly, owning their core strengths. The weekend will include: Intro’s and sharing. An art project (a collage or treasure map), time for discussion, breathing, stretching and movement. Learning what we truly value will assist in setting goals and then a final wrap up “The Next Step” living with cancer.
