Image Reborn: free retreats for breast cancer survivors
Massage is just one of the treats in store for the Image Reborn weekend retreat.
When I was at the Young Women Affected by Breast Cancer Conference in February, I stopped by the Young Survival Coalition’s table to see my friend Kristy. “You’ve got to stop by Image Reborn’s booth; I went to one their retreats and it was great!”
When I finally found them tucked away in a not-well-traveled corner, I was convinced I discovered the best kept secret in the breast cancer world. Image Reborn’s Living Beyond Breast Cancer program offers free weekend retreats in Park City, Utah. They even pay for your airfare up to a certain amount. It seemed too good to be true, but I signed up right away.
Today, I am packing my bags to leave and I can’t wait. I’ll be sharing a mountain home with seven other survivors. We met over email, and I’m looking forward to make some new connections. The focus is on encouraging women to reclaim their sense of personal power and to strengthen them in their journey toward healing on all levels and living fully. Some of things planned for the weekend include:
- Meals prepared by a chef
- Main street shopping
- Massages and facials
- Q & A with a healthcare professional
- Soaks in the hot tub
I guess the word is getting out because now there is a waiting list to participate. To find out more and to learn how you can donate to this very worthy organization, visit their web site at www.imagerebornfoundation.org.
I’ll share pictures and more on future posts. Utah, here I come!

Hi Tami,
I’ve been navigating through your web pages and am LOVING what I’m seeing, so much so, that I included your website on my blog column’s bloglist.
I hope you enjoy the retreat!! It sounds fabulous.
I’m a breast cancer survivor/thriver who was told by one doctor that I wouldn’t live too long. Nine years later, I have proved him wrong. Oh, and I fired him!
