Re-Shaping Our Cancer Stories

A 6 week, online program that includes 6 gatherings and home practice invitations.

A cancer diagnosis may change the trajectory of our lives and our life story may need reshaping; grief and loss may need acknowledging. This innovative program provides opportunities to work deeply with questions of identity and the current now.

Through live online gatherings, video segments, and supporting materials, we will integrate the natural world, simple art-making, yoga, sound, and discussion circles as we travel through our stories to chart a fresh course.

Simply come with an open heart and a playful and committed spirit. The materials you will need will be mailed to you.

This program is for those living with cancer. Support people are not included in this program currently.

We are grateful for the support of an Ontario Trillium Foundation grant that helps cover many of the costs for this initiative!

After 4 months of listening, creativity, small group conversations and A LOT OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT, the decision has been made. Within the next few months, Abbey Retreat Centre (ARC) will officially change our name to Brooksong Retreat and Cancer Support Centre.

Your donation is DOUBLED for the month December!

All donations up to a total $25,000 will be matched by a generous donor!
