Mission
The primary mission of Wind River Cancer Wellness Retreats & Outreach Programs is to support and empower cancer survivors with all types of cancer by teaching them ways to deal with the physical and emotional stress of cancer and providing opportunities to make new friends and improve their quality of life.

Additionally, we provide survivor outreach programs that offer peer and nutrition coaching, workshops, meet ups and end of life support.
And with the support of our amazing wellness practitioners, sponsors and donors our Wellness Retreats and Outreach Programs are free of charge to survivors.

Co-Founders Message
After our own experience with Shannon's breast cancer in 2003, we became aware that surviving cancer requires not just physical stamina, but ALSO time to process the many emotional and spiritual challenges it brings.
Together we have created a place where people diagnosed with cancer come to deal with the difficult aspects of cancer, meet others and find strength.
Our motivation is to bring together people who want to further explore their cancer journey, focusing on living more fully and authentically - mind, body & spirit. Personally, we are strong believers in giving back, simplifying, laughter, friendship, and spending time in nature.
Our unique, four-day Cancer Wellness Retreats are designed to empower cancer survivors to work on the non-medical aspects of cancer. In a safe, tranquil setting, men and women living with cancer are able to slow down, learn new tools to help reduce stress, tap their creativity, and connect with other survivors leading to increased quality of life.
Since 2007, Wind River has been providing rejuvenating cancer wellness retreats, along with a variety of nutrition, fitness and health awareness outreach services at NO COST to survivors.
