Free Colorado Breast Cancer Retreat for Deaf Women
August 6 - 8, 2023
Image Reborn breast cancer retreats are designed to support the emotional side of healing and wellbeing. During this two-night retreat, women find support and empowerment, connecting with each other as they learn to practice self-care through services like yoga, massage, reiki, group time, rest, rejuvenation, and more. Plus, delicious food is provided by Rodizio Grill. It’s a wonderful opportunity to spend time together, using ASL all the time!
Whether you are in the middle of treatment, or 20+ years after diagnosis, you are invited to join us. Come to this retreat if you:
- are looking for support and want to meet other Deaf women who have (or have had) breast cancer
- feel anxious, overwhelmed, tired or stressed
- feel good but want to feel better
- are curious about self-care
- use ASL to communicate (interpreters are only needed and provided when a provider (massage, yoga, etc.) isn’t fluent in ASL
This retreat will take place in the beautiful mountains in Dillon, Colorado. It is open to local Colorado women as well as women from out of state. Image Reborn is able to contribute toward airfare costs when necessary, typically up to $500. Apply for an Airfare Travel Grant if you are in need of financial assistance.
All women attending (including both leaders) are fluent in ASL!
