Wind River Retreats offers cancer survivors opportunities to face fears and  embrace the now. And what was even more unexpected and powerful for me, were that lifetime relationships were formed In just days.  I love my Wind River Family!"

​
My experience at the Wind River retreat allowed me to rediscover who I really am -- beyond my cancer diagnosis, beyond the recent stressful transitions in my family life, beyond the debilitating fears I had constructed in my mind. What a beautiful gift, indeed! I walked in the door at the start of the retreat wrapped tight and isolated in the limitations I had created for myself and burst out at the end of the weekend with the boundless joy of rediscovering myself and my connections with other human beings and the world around us. My deepest thanks to Shannon, Shirley, Cheryl, and Dave for helping me find my way.
