"The few days I had at Wind River were exactly what my soul needed. I feel more hopeful. Thank you. I spent a day pretending to be a WR kitty. It was purr-fect!!!"

2022 Wind River Solo-Healing Retreat Alum
4x Ovarian Survivor

​“Here’s an idea: why don’t you spend your free time and weekends creating the kind of life you want instead of trying to escape it.”
I’ve been trying to do more of just that each year, especially post-cancer. At the end of my life, I won’t wish I sold one more house or worked one more day.. but I sure will be grateful I took more days to do this."

​​THANK YOU so very much for providing the HeartMath class! I fully enjoyed all the teachings and of course the techniques taught. Just what I needed. Still struggling way too much with giving and over caring versus replenishing my own tank in all I do. ughhhh. But this is workshop is beautiful!  It was also great to have the breakouts with the buddy. i love Gwen!!! we had so much in common so could easily relate. And Lori is a fabulous teacher!!! Wind River is a lifelong lifeline for me. Now let's move away from burnout and establish a new baseline!!! love you

There are really no words that are adequate enough to describe my gratitude for being here at Wind River this week. Thank you for your generosity, insights, laughs and love!!!  There was enough solitary time mixed in with wonderful together time.  A perfect blend!

Shannon, Words cannot express how grateful I am that you helped me during one of my darkest times!

​Wow.  We just finished up day two of Heart Math with Lori and I am blown away at how awesome this is.  I came at it from a personal perspective as I wanted to learn this for myself and see how it might actually help others.  But what I really gained was a new tool for ME, and one that I don't have to schedule time for or pay for.  From the bottom of my heart, and no pun intended, thank you.  Palliative Care RN

Just realized I didn’t send you a thank you for featuring me in this Pearls of Wisdom. It actually came at a GREAT time. Sometimes I need to be reminded of the “better” things I say and do. I had just gotten my first infusion/shot for my bones on Friday and I was feeling a bit “poorly” and a tiny bit sorry for myself. An email from you and Wind River always makes me feel good. Wind River means a lot onto me and I’m looking forward to when I get to meet everyone in person. Much love,

I love you all so so much!  You brought so much joy to my mom’s life and I can never thank you enough for that.  Love all of you always,  (the teenage daughter of an alum who has passed).

I am so thankful to your friendship in my life thanks to Wind River.  You and Dave have accepted me for who I am and have blessed me with your gracious hospitality. You have shared with me a quiet place to HEAL and REST – what an oasis for the Spirit! Much love and gratitude.

THANK YOU so much for all of your nutrition help!  Even though I’ve learned a lot over the years, I’ve never been given advice that meets my specific needs as you provided today.  I’m excited to try some of your recipes.  Kristi Funk’s smoothie is so complex that I gave up on it.  Your suggestions sound very doable and delicious.  How fortunate I am to be learning so much from you!!

I feel asleep last night knowing I had a package from Wind River.  I’m savoring the moment to explore what’s inside.  Thank you for thinking of me.  Cancer and immunotherapy is tough right now and your package means a lot.

Coming out of the fog has opened my eyes to a lot of people who have always been there for me even though I was absent in mind, body and spirit for a while. A couple of days ago I ran across a beautiful blue river rock that Wind River had sent me in a care package a few years ago. It reminded me of how helpful and caring Wind River had been when I was recovering from treatment. So I made it into a necklace. The next day, I get an email from Wind River about Pearls of Wisdom. God put it on my heart right on time.  I have kept a painting from the same care package in my kitchen that rings so true. Don't Postpone Joy! Thank you Cheryl and Wind River. I am very excited about Pearl's of Wisdom! 

THANK YOU to our many supporters and sponsors for making this possible!
