Our friends, Danielle and Janie, at Callanish would like to extend an invitation to the YACC community for their four-day retreat happening in October.
They said, “The theme of this four-day retreat is to learn how to accept ourselves with everything that has happened since a cancer diagnosis. We will explore issues such as healing; developing purpose; losses and changes due to cancer; hopes and fears about the future; cultivating emotional and spiritual strength.”
Partners are welcome to attend as full participants and sessions will include group process, yoga, Qigong, art therapy, relaxation, and sound.
The retreat will be held at The Brew Creek Centre which is located in a beautiful mountain setting on a creek situated on 12 acres between Squamish and Whistler, BC.
With love from all of us at YACN at Callanish,
xox Danielle and Janie
