Program Description:
Infinite Boundaries is a four-day retreat for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. Designed by breast cancer survivors for breast cancer survivors, each retreat features a unique mixture of healing approaches: discussions on sensitive topics, creative arts and outdoor recreation. Because there is healing in nature, retreats are held in some of Wisconsin's most beautiful locales. Women who attend Infinite Boundaries retreats are in all stages of breast cancer. Some are newly diagnosed while others may have been diagnosed years ago. During the retreat, topics discussed include living with the fear that the cancer will return; dealing with difficult feelings such as anger, trust, fear and guilt; and restoring one's sense of sensuality and sexuality.
