Are you a breast cancer survivor 6 to 24 months out of treatment?

Participants and Staff Great Lakes HOPE Retreat


We invite you to the HOPE Retreat™ to reflect on your cancer experience in a comfortable, caring environment.

The HOPE Retreat™ was developed by a Breast Cancer Survivor out of her need to share her unique breast cancer journey with her peers and to identify positive life changes.

It is our goal and hope that each sister survivor has the opportunity to explore their feelings, empower themselves, and enrich their lives through group discussion, workbook activities, pampering and relaxation.

Since our first retreat in 2002, twenty-two years ago, our nonprofit organization has enriched the lives and given hope to women in Michigan, Colorado, Missouri and North Carolina.
