Education is the most powerful tool through the cancer healing journey. There is going to be an endless list of questions that arise accompanied by questions you don't even know you should be asking. 

Education classes will be held on the importance of and effects on the body from Physical Exercise Routines, Mental Healing, Diet and Nutrition, and Alternative Therapies. 

We will educate you on issues that you would never think of unless you have been in those shoes already including info on Surgical Challenges, pre operation prep and what to expect, post surgery recovery and what you can do best to aid a faster and more successful recovery, Self-Care Tools, Relaxation and Healing time for you and so much more. 

When faced with battling cancer, many minds, including patient and doctor immediately focus on the most important task at hand; surviving and beating the horrible disease. We want to take time to educated you on the other often over looked aspects to the battle.

Our body is our diet.

It is crucial to understand about what and how we eat, effects our body and cancer's growth , it can either provide fuel or starves our cancer. Nutrition can be equally important, if not more important and effective than some cancer treatments.

One topic that we cover is Whole Food Supplements. Unfortunately even when eating organic, a number of the foods we eat do not contain enough of the nutrients our body needs. The good news is that with the proper whole food supplements, we can supply our body with those nutrients that it needs,

We will also offer classes that include:

• Diet regimens including Paleo and Keto
• The importance of organics in certain foods over others
• Ways to remove heavy metals and toxic chemicals from the body
• The dirty dozen
• The clean 15
• Much more

It is no secrete now that alternative therapies can be used solely or in conjunction with western medicine approaches to help fight cancer. 

What most people don't understand is just how important one or all of them can be or how they can compliment, western medicine. No matter which approach you choose to take to battle your cancer. Everyone's cancer journey is different but they can all benefit from alternative therapies. We offer education on all of these but, will also be offering classes at the retreat in the following:

• Physical Exercise
• Massage

Something that often goes over looked, by no fault of anyone is caregiver support. It is important to realize how the diagnosis of cancer effects not just the individual diagnosed but also all the loved ones around them. On top of the overwhelming emotions that are brought on them, they also face new challenges that no one can expect to be prepare for such as care giving, understanding medicines, scheduling conflicts, and all the way down to who will watch the family pet. 

Attendees will learn how to deal with grief, organize doctor and hospital visits, the importance of an alternative care giver and scheduling breaks, making a daily schedule for patients medicines, treatments, and alternative therapies, bandage changing, setting goals and motivating the patient and their loved one and so much more.
