Waves of Wellness Retreat

Our weekend Waves of Wellness Retreat at the Oregon Coast, is a wonderful way to be in community with other breast cancer survivors and thrivers. Attendees experience a true connection with other participants, a deep sense of belonging, and a renewed spirit. A variety of fun, camp-like opportunities such as archery & zip lining are available as well as hiking, walks on the beach, and educational opportunities.

The three-day, two-night retreat is offered for a $125 per person fee that includes workshop materials, as well as food and lodging with one roommate. It is open to anyone who has had a breast cancer diagnosis.

“I so appreciate the Breast Friends retreat. I was so happy to be able to get away for a weekend, to forget and relax and breathe. The staff of BF went the extra mile to spoil us, care for us, and give us the freedom to do as much or as little as we wanted. To be with other women who get it- words were not needed to bond us together in trust and acceptance.  To be with these women meant  to be able to talk about intimate, traumatic, horrible experiences with others who had been there. No one judged, criticized, pitied, looked at us as sick or imperfect.  We were accepted no matter what our age or political view or appearance or physical capabilities. We were provided with tools for physical and emotional healing that we would take home and put to use. And we were allowed to rest, away from family responsibilities: no housework or cooking for 2 blessed days, and fed incredibly nutritious, delicious food. Thank you for the privilege of attending. I thought I didn’t need it again this year. I was wrong.”
