Welcome to Wind River Cancer Wellness Programs

.... where hearts and minds meet
  
​Welcome!  We love to connect survivors with each other and to a wide array of healing tools and time in nature!  We emphasize virtual interactive programming, one on one cancer-wellness coaching, as well as solo and family healing retreats.  For some this is finding time to be alone and quiet the soul by our waterfall or in a hammock.  For others it is to connect with other survivors through Wind River wellness programs and live in the moment with joy, tears and laughter!

We are hosting a Lung Cancer Survivor retreat for September in Raleigh, NC open to NC lung cancer survivors!  Apply now.
Wind River provides an array of support to survivors including:
  • Survivor Workshops in Cooking, Art, Well-Being, Heartmath, Healing Touch and more ...  via Zoom and in person​

"How can you put cancer and happiness in the same statement? You wouldn’t think it is possible, but it is because I’ve met so many wonderful people through Wind River and had so many restorative experiences. I am Blessed. And I am Happy"
- Stage IV Breast Cancer Survivor, 2022
