Breathe Now Retreat: San Diego, CA

Retreat Location: San Diego, CA
Retreat Date: April 29, 2022 – May 3, 2022
Retreat Availability: Retreat Full

 

Join us at the beautiful Inn at Rancho Sante Fe located near San Diego, CA for Dear Jack Foundation’s Breathe Now couple’s wellness retreat. Over the course of the four-day program, you’ll be surrounded by 5 other young adult couples who have gone through similar experiences with cancer as you and your partner. Dear Jack Foundation staff will guide you and your partner through four days of fun, intensive, and thoughtful programming to include yoga, meditation, hiking, a cooking class, and psychosocial breakout sessions. The goal over the course of the four days is to rediscover balance and connection in your relationship with your partner post cancer.
Breathe Now Retreat Participant Requirements:
  • Survivor and their partner are between the ages 21-39.
  • Survivor should be 1-3 three years out from their last active cancer treatment. Treatments for chronic issues are ok.
  • We ask that the couple be in a committed relationship and together throughout (from diagnosis through treatment).
  • The couple must be able to physically participate in activities (vinaysa yoga and hiking).
  • The couple should not be in a significant crisis in their partnership.
  • We ask that both members of the couple are vested in the process and willing to be open to new mindful experiences through yoga, meditation, and retreat breakout sessions.
  • We ask that participants are willing to share their stories and be respectful of others.

About the Retreat Location:
The Inn is the social and focal center of the tranquil village of Rancho Santa Fe, a San Diego north county town characterized by lush foliage, towering eucalyptus, winding roads and historic buildings. Hot air balloons float over this hamlet in the hills of horse country and its dark sky policy means uninterrupted nighttime stargazing. Though just a 30-minute drive from Downtown San Diego and the airport, the town feels worlds away.
