Retreats are well supported but input costs have increased substantially so we need your committment. Retreats run from Wednesday evening to Sunday.

The aim of the Retreats is to provide "time-out" from everyday routines and stresses, and in a relaxed, peaceful setting, to consider how to deal with cancer in a holistic way.
The programme covers:
- Education; on cancer and important lifestyle changes essential for optimum health.
- Medical; possible causes and treatments and the importance of the immune system in relation to health and illness.
- Nutrition; the importance of good nutrition to maintain health and to back up other therapies.
- Psychological; the role of stress, relaxation, goal setting, positive attitude, healing emotional wounds, resolving conflicts, self esteem and more.
Health professionals such as Doctors, Nurses, Medical and Psychology Students are given the opportunity to attend Cancer Retreats to become more familiar with the issues which people face following a diagnosis of cancer, and enhance their own skills in working with them.
