Breast cancer

Breast cancer changes everything. Women diagnosed with breast cancer often refer to two kind of lives: One before breast cancer and one after breast cancer.

Questions and fears

Women with ‘perfect’ prospects after treatment are struggling immensely: How can I stay healthy? Am I still the same person? What are my new priorities? How can I make my loved ones understand how I feel? How can I handle my fear and tiredness? Can I trust my body again? How can I feel feminine again? All questions and fears which often appear after all treatments in hospital have finished.  

SHARED JOURNEY

During our retreat, survivors explore what it means to have a healthy mind, body and spirit in their new post-cancer life. The experience is designed to foster personal renewal, facilitate a shared journey with other survivors, and build bonds of encouragement with others traveling the same journey.

“Sister”

You don’t need to do this on your own. You and your ‘sister’ are welcome. Your ‘sister’ can be anyone, your mother, your sister, your friend. A woman who you trust and who is always there for you, an anchor in your life right now. You don’t need to come with somebody. You’re also welcome without a ‘sister’ as you will be joined by many. Or be one yourself.

Special Program

Yogini rosa Retreats are designed for women who are confronted with breast cancer. During this seven day retreat, we offer activities, workshops and treatments specially designed to help cope with the effects of the disease. Both for the body and mind. Spending time with other women on the same journey can bring a different understanding, strength and energy. It can help in the process of dealing with breast cancer.

The retreat is organised by an expert team of women, and is supported by volunteers who may have experienced the effects of the disease and the treatment themselves.
