Empowerment during cancer

Warrior Revolution

If you are a woman who has had cancer or you are still in treatment, the Warrior Revolution helps you navigate your life on your way back to wellness.

Our Mission

Too often, wellness is the last thing on a woman’s to-do list. It is even more important for women with cancer. And yet, when living with cancer, we have less time, energy, and motivation to take care of ourselves. If you are a woman who has had cancer or you are still in treatment, the Warrior Revolution helps you navigate your life on your way back to wellness. Maybe you want to learn some tips and techniques to help improve your nutrition or quality of life. Maybe you’d like to hear about the latest medical advances in the field of oncology so you can tap into a treatment plan that’s right for you. Or maybe you just want to hang with fellow survivors and have a fun weekend out of the house. The weekend is also open to friends and family members who want to come to show support for their loved ones while getting information and inspiration.

Why Attend Warrior Revolution Retreat

The Warrior Revolution Retreat is a three-day intimate event featuring inspirational speakers, experts and influencers who will address the unique issues women with cancer face through honest, provocative and positive conversations. The WRR also offers women the chance to pamper themselves with wellness activities like yoga, reiki, art and beauty tutorials.
