Retreat Yourself Adventure

Cancer does not stop after the last chemo drop, it takes time to recover from treatment, process what happened, and figure out what’s next. Once treatment is over, appointments are not as frequent, the body is healing, the physical strength improves, and expectations of what and how things should be creeps in. You have to deal with so many transitions and face a lot of questions. Getting back into a groove is not always as easy as we would like, but it is possible.

Program Details

Retreat Yourself Adventure aims to help you navigate that unsettling phase. We want you to leave this Retreat feeling empowered, both physically and mentally. You will gain tools and feel supported so you can move forward in or beyond your cancer experience.

The 2024 Recap

"We talked a lot about our cancer journeys, but it was the first time in 18 months that I felt like someone who was much more than my cancer, that my cancer didn't define me, and I was still valuable in many other ways."

Jessica Mees (Retreat Yourself Adventure 2024 participant)

An experience of a lifetime

"I signed up for Retreat Yourself Adventure Newfoundland and Labrador because I wanted to challenge myself on a physical and mental level. I have never travelled alone before. I have never been hiking. I have never truly stepped into the unknown. I decided this was the perfect opportunity to stop playing it safe." - Retreat Yourself Adventure participant
