"Wind River - a True Treasure!"
- Wind River breast cancer survivor and fellow Treasure Hunt Explorer


This past month we enjoyed a one of a kind 21 Day Wind River Treasure Hunt with over 90 friends from our cancer community!

The notes of gratitude, people's personal ah-ha moments and lots of meaningful sharings doesn't put a dent into the deep gratitude Cheryl and Shannon have for bringing this new virtual retreat to life. Participants founds so many hidden gems in their quest to go beyond their daily routines and reach for more personal growth and adventure!  Created from scratch from the back porch overlooking the Wind River waterfall, the daily gems and personal treasure hunts grew out of the over 16 years of retreats and survivor outreach.  Who knows, maybe we will have another treasure hunt next year!  In the meanwhile, 

And a special thank you to our wonderful guest appearances from practitioners and volunteers Shirley Ballantyne, Scott Greenapple, Becca Odom, Cheryl DeSeller and Deb Culler!

Did you know that cancer survivors are terrible about getting screened for cancers that were not their own?!  So if you've had breast cancer, or prostate, lung, skin, or any other type of cancer, ask yourself, HAVE I GOTTEN my colonoscopy? Did you know they recommend it now at age 45 for all adults (sooner if you have symptoms of course)?  What are you waiting for?!   

Schedule it NOW.  Many practitioners are backed up (yes, bad pun intended) so even if you call today, it could be several months before they can see you.
