Navigating with Heart: Annual IRF Facilitator Summit

Navigating with Heart: Annual IRF Facilitator Summit

Click to register.

Join us for a weekend of connection, growth, and inspiration at Image Reborn Foundation’s 3rd Annual Facilitator Summit. This year’s theme, Navigating with Heart, invites us to step into our roles as guides—centered in compassion, rooted in purpose, and aligned with the journeys of the breast cancer survivors we serve.

Like seasoned sailors charting open waters, we’ll explore how to set direction, adjust course when needed, and stay aligned with our mission, values, and each other. This retreat-style summit brings together facilitators, providers, and volunteers from across the country to reflect, recalibrate, and reconnect before heading into another powerful year of retreats.

Expect thoughtful dialogue, skill-building workshops, peer support, and time to rest and recharge. You’ll leave feeling clear on your path, anchored in community, and empowered to lead from the heart.

Highlights include:

• Training and educational sessions led by experts in trauma-informed care and breast cancer support

• Opportunities to deepen your skills in grief facilitation, communication, and group dynamics

• Guided reflection and goal-setting exercises (aka “Captain’s Log” sessions)

• Time to connect, share, and build community with your fellow crew members

• Fun, themed activities and meaningful moments to honor your own journey

Whether you’re a returning facilitator or joining the crew for the first time, this summit is a chance to step back, breathe in, and sail forward with renewed clarity and courage.

Let’s navigate the year ahead—together.
