In my journey since cancer I have learned one thing that I am
absolutely certain of, complete healing can only take place when you
forgive yourself and all others. This I have done and continue to
practice daily in the mind/body imagery that I learned at KoKoLuLu with
Jeanne and our group. I am forever grateful for each and every one of
you.

PM Iowa: “The best answer for
this is to come. This experience has made me look at my life and I am
looking forward to see ‘What comes up’ for me”
MK Iowa: “Quiet was good – if not
hard” It was not fun being sick, but a reminder that nothing is perfect”
EH Missouri: “After a dark night do
something different, you deserve it”
AE USA: A famous quote
(by Albert Einstein) repeat by a participant at the retreat: “A problem cannot be
solved with the same mindset that created it”
EH Mss (previous
retreat): “I came here with a
serious diagnosis and found a caring, safe place to completely
relax. I leave still with a diagnosis. What became clear is
that it is JUST a diagnosis and what I experienced here keeps the
diagnosis from becoming a disease that runs my life.”

Kokolulu's Cancer Retreat Center (a fiscally sponsored non-profit
organization) is
built on the vision of creating a peaceful,
healing environment that places a focus on the care of the whole person
using the intention of Mind/Body/Spirit connections.
KoKoLuLu
is a Green Retreat Facility - Powered by Alternative Energy, No
Chemicals or Pesticides used on an Organic Permanculture Biodynamic Farm
Life after a serious
diagnosis
such as cancer will never again be the
same. This is a virtual guarantee. Modern health care has few resources
to lend to training or care giving after primary or tertiary
treatment. Patients are sent home after medical treatment to care
for themselves and simply don't know what to do
next. Many are basically healthy and want information on
expanded wellness, others need to recover and detoxify from treatment,
and still others feel challenged by medical information on the probable
length of life. Seeking a high quality of life, regardless of any
other intention, is a most commonly held desire
Many patients say the return into life is more challenging than the
diagnosis or treatment. They feel changed and don't know
how to act upon the change. They feel abandoned by the health
system and anxious about recurrence of the disease. The truth is,
they have gone through an epiphany and have wisdom to share that would
enrich the lives of anyone who listens carefully.
Learn ways to continue your healing journey; bring home new tools to
access the power of your Mind/Body/Spirit to not
only survive, but THRIVE!!!
Family
Support
At
Kokolulu, we strongly recommend that a spouse, partner, or close family
member accompany clients who enter our program. We find this to be
important because a support person can be invaluable in assisting the
client to adopt new practices and to modify old patterns. The
support person can often determine the degree to which clients
incorporate and utilize new life tools.
Also, the support person frequently needs as much assistance and
guidance in coping with feelings as the client does, in order to deal
with times of confusion, feelings of inadequacies and lack of
compassion and understanding that arise when watching a loved one go
through a life-threatening disease. With help, the whole
experience can help leave one feeling enriched and human in ways not
usually experienced in everyday life.
To encourage you to bring a family support person, we offer a specially reduced fee.

Cancer
Retreat 2008
We
look with uncertainty beyond the old
choices
For clear cut answers to
a more permeable aliveness
For something new is
being born in us if we but let it
We stand at a new
doorway, awaiting that which comes
Daring to be human
creatures
Vulnerable to the beauty
of existence
Learning to love.
