bridging the gap to recovery and beyond with yoga…
Our Mission
The Retreat Project brings yoga and other mind/body modalities to low-income and under-served women touched by cancer through annual, regional retreats. In collaboration with others who share this mission, we create, plan and fully fund retreats to include patients,survivors, and caregivers. Beyond the retreat experience, we endeavor to encourage and cultivate access to the transformative power of yoga.
Our Vision
Retreats change lives. We envision a world where these retreats will change many lives using yoga and other mind/body modalities as a prescription for recovery and life-long well-being. These retreats offer a place for healing to begin or continue; an opportunity to learn a practice for healthy living; a safe respite from the stress of a cancer journey; time alone and time shared in a supportive community. The Retreat Project retreats will pamper, empower and give hope.
