THE PROBLEM:
Research conducted by the National Cancer Institute shows that as much as 50 percent of cancer risk may be related to diet. Furthermore, there has been increased toxins exposure through everyday use of products and other environmental factors, leading to an increased risk of cancer.
A study conducted by researchers at the American Cancer Society found that about 42% of cancer cases and 45% of cancer deaths in the United States are linked to modifiable risk factors and thus could be preventable. And sadly, Black women are 41% more likely to die from breast cancer.
OUR SOLUTION
To address these issues head-on, we invite women who are impacted by cancer to join us for a weekend getaway retreat where they will experience...
- plant-based cooking and how nutrition plays a vital role in disease management and prevention using the latest scientific research
- ways to eliminate toxins and exposures to substances that can potentially affect their health.
- mind, body, and soul healing modalities through a sisterhood of support, yoga, meditation, celebration, and more.
