2023 Renewal Retreats
A breast cancer diagnosis is life-altering. Anxiety, self-image, sense of purpose, and strained relationships are common symptoms that often go unaddressed by medical teams during treatment.
Image Reborn retreats are designed to bring awareness to the emotional side of healing and wellbeing. Over a weekend retreat, women find comfort in connection and empowerment in learning the practice of self-care.
Whether you are in the midst of treatment or 20+ years out, you are invited to join us!
First, take a deep breath. Then another. Take as many as you need to stop and listen to your body, and then choose the type of Retreat that feels right for YOU:
- Rest & Renew Ideal for those more recently recovering from surgery and for those looking to let go and relax. All activities and yoga movements are gentle and restorative.
- Active Renewal This relaxing retreat includes activities and yoga that are slightly more rigorous than the Rest & Restore, designed for those who want to incorporate a little more movement into their healing.
- Adventure For those looking to push their limits with the camaraderie and support of peers and leaders while immersed in nature. Adventures may include ropes courses, canyoneering, and river rafting. Accommodations may include cots in shared yurts, dorms, and/or tents.
2023 Retreat Schedule by Type
What is a Renewal Retreat?
A 2-night stay in a luxurious mountain home* in the nurturing company of 6-7 other women who are or have experienced breast cancer. Throughout the weekend, you will enjoy gourmet food, restorative movement, and massage. As we get to know each other, you can expect to cry, to laugh, to grieve, and to rejoice - together.
The renewal retreat will afford you the time and space to...
stop, rest, acknowledge, and honor life changes.
It is an opportunity to share your story, to be seen, heard, and to listen and provide comfort to others. Every woman has her place in our circle.
Come join us, for free - for YOU.
*Because we rely heavily on donated accommodations, we cannot guarantee guests will not have to share a bedroom. Every guest will have her own bed.
See FAQs below for current COVID stipulations.
Who can attend - who you will meet...
Renewal Retreats are offered for any woman diagnosed with breast cancer at any age and any stage.
Most women tell us they come to a retreat to connect to other women who have a deeper understanding for what they are experiencing. Image Reborn further supports the specific needs of these groups (please see calendar/registration for current openings):
- Young Survivors
- Stage IV
- Latinx (Spanish-speaking)
Can I come again? Currently, retreats prioritize opportunities for first-time attendees. However, one spot at each retreat is reserved for an alumni who could benefit from attending a retreat again. Please be sure to register either as a first-time attendee or as an alumni using the corresponding registration form. At this time, Colorado retreats are open only to first-time attendees.
How to Register?
Registration is available on a first come, first served basis through the Image Reborn website and is available to any woman that has been diagnosed with breast cancer.
