Breathe Now Retreats are specially designed for cancer survivors aged 18-39 and offer a unique healing experience for both individuals and couples. These transformative retreats focus on restoring balance in mind and body, while providing a supportive environment for self-discovery and emotional growth. Retreats are available for individuals or couples and focus on a nurturing space to reconnect, heal, and embrace life anew after cancer. Discover the power of breath and restoration in a community of understanding and shared experiences.

Participants are encouraged to acknowledge the challenges they’ve encountered, their values, and the strength they have shown during their cancer journey.
