Early bird registration is open!
Ginny Stasinski (my friend, colleague, founder of Live Brilliant, and all around awesome human) and I are thrilled to announce the opening of registration for our Mindfulness in Cancer Recovery Retreat 2024 in beautiful Puerto Vallarta. All cancer survivors are welcome (this one is not limited to breast cancer)!
Join us and a group of like-minded cancer thrivers to learn how mindfulness techniques can improve our daily experience, to begin to develop your own personal mindfulness practice, to relax, recharge, and enjoy this beautiful tropical paradise and the love and support of new friends.
This retreat is extra special because you will be led by TWO facilitators and benefit from our combined experience as cancer survivors, yoga teachers, wellness experts, and medical professionals! Ginny holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing and a Master’s degree of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in Integrative Wellness, and she is a certified health and wellness coach as well as a certified yoga teacher. Leona holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology, a Doctor of Medicine (MD), and former board certifications in both internal medicine and medical oncology. She is also a certified yoga teacher. And both are certified facilitators of the Mindfulness Based Cancer Recovery program. More important than all that, we are both huge believers in the power of this program and deeply committed to spreading the gifts of mindfulness in cancer recovery. We are a unique, experienced, and fun team and we can’t wait to share our insights with you!
