Casting for Recovery

Anonymous

Casting for Recovery is a 2.5 day retreat that is open to any woman recovering from breast cancer in any stage or that is at any point of treatment or has completed treatment no matter how long ago.. All women who have had a positive diagnosis of breast cancer are welcome.

In addition, it does not matter how you treated your breast cancer, nor what kind of beliefs that you may have.  Everyone is welcome at this retreat.  It's just women sharing a common illness getting together to heal.

You will have to pay for you own transportation to and from the retreat but everything is paid for once you get there.  This includes meals, lodging and fly fishing equipment and instruction.

 There are only 14 women per retreat so you will have to sign up well in advance. I understand it is by lottery and if you don't get in they will send you an application for the following year.

It's only limited to the U.S. and Canada, but if you live in another country, I don't see why you can't contact this organization and work on getting something similar started in your own country of origin.

I am only going to post this in the alternative and complimentary boards,but certainly give my permission for anybody  to copy and paste this post in any other BC.Org boards or anywhere else that they feel may might be of good use.

Thanks for the info.  I heard about this a few months ago, and was fortunate to be selected for a retreat next month.  I am hoping that the experience will be good.
