Since our first 3-day retreat in 2017, MCR learned the importance of providing intensive guided classes to support your cancer journey, providing a safe, nurturing environment where individuals could speak freely, connect deeply, laugh, learn, and be vulnerable with others who truly understood what they were going through.

Building on the overwhelming success of that initial retreat MCR changed the format in 2019 to:

• Four one day retreats per year for education, self-care, community sharing

• Hosting up to 30 participants at each “DayTreat”

• For all cancer survivors regardless of their journey stage

• Caregivers welcome as well

• Over a five-year span, these Day Treats have reached 400 cancer patients and caregivers, offering community, education, empowerment, and emotional support.

Looking ahead, MCR hopes to obtain support to again sponsor a 3 day retreat in August of 2026, returning to the rich, immersive format of our first program, and also provide three additional one-day Day Treats.

Cancer survivorship and healing, thrives on community, and our Day Treats provide exactly that, time together, shared stories, creative expression, and meaningful connection for those navigating the cancer journey.
