About The Rejuvenate Retreat
Survivors join us for an event that is specially designed for you. Our retreat is aimed at helping you to “check cancer at the door” for a day and just engage in activities designed to help you feel rejuvenated.
Historical Sanford, Florida is a peaceful, charming, calming atmosphere that will take you back in time and will really set the tone for this event. The Sanford Civic Center sits on the St. Johns River. Activities include yoga, sound healing, massage, essential oils, wig setting class, and much more. Hopefully, the day’s activities will provide you with new therapies and techniques to help combat anxiety and other negative emotions that can accompany your cancer journey.

Keynote Speaker
Jo Badger has been professionally invested in the revitalization of communities, and the women in them, for the last 26 years. Since 2014, she has been working full-time advocating for women who have lost sight of their joy through her online courses, public-speaking, teaching and mentoring programs.
Her personal passion for seeing women walk in the fullness of life, no matter what the world has thrown at them, plays out in her role as speaker and lead trainer for The Infuse Project, home of The Infuse Journey: 5 Steps to Find Your Joy, national wellness coach for BeBalanced where she helps men & women reverse the physical damage of living without JOY and her tiny house homestead project for women in transition, opening in 2025.
On a mission to infuse this world with the true transformational power of joy… Jo can usually be found driving undiscovered back roads with the music up and her sunroof open, enjoying the smell of old books, strong coffee and all things frankincense. Dreaming of one day running a community tiny-house homestead, Jo currently resides with her dog, Dixie, in her own tiny house in the woods of beautiful, Sanford, Florida.
