About The Rejuvenate Retreat
Join us for our Rejuvenate Retreat and take time away from the stresses of everyday life. This intimate and inspirational experience will focus on empowering you with coping skills to help you renew your energy, reclaim your spirit, and relax your mind.
The Vanderbilt Museum and Planetarium in Centerport, NY, will set the serene tone for our wellness journey. Enjoy the solace of nature and beautifully stunning views of Northport Harbor, or take a stroll through the magnificent Rose Garden. Together with fellow survivors, you will participate in wellness and complementary therapies.
Our Rejuvenate Retreat is designed for 25 survivors to create meaningful connections and focus on much-needed “me time” in this peaceful atmosphere.
Our Rejuvenate Retreat is a complementary program. Space is limited. If we exceed 25 participants, we will have a waiting list. All participants must confirm their spot by Thursday, July 27th, to allow adequate time for another survivor to make arrangements to attend.
