April 20-24 at the Whidbey Institute

You are warmly invited to the Awake and Alive — Mindful Living with Cancer Retreat: a mindfulness and healing retreat for cancer patients, survivors and their caregivers. Join us for this unique transformative opportunity and discover how to navigate the emotional, psychological and spiritual challenges of illness with more ease and joy — and leave refreshed, inspired and renewed.

• Imagine practicing the healing arts of mindfulness, meditation and self-compassion that help you find deeper peace, calm fear and anxiety, boost immunity, build resilience and cope better with stress and uncertainty.
• Imagine the gift of a warm and nurturing community of kindred spirits, also impacted by cancer, sharing stories and insights in a safe, supportive circle that honors and supports your unique journey with cancer.
• Imagine slowing down and experiencing deep relaxation through various healing modalities – and having time for yourself for journaling and self-reflection.
• Imagine nurturing body and soul with creativity, laughter, delicious, organic food and the serenity and peacefulness of 100 acres of protected forest, labyrinth, trails, and gardens.

Past participants have found it a powerful, transformative experience — they’ll tell you about it below….
