Seventy women with cancer enjoyed a fun-filled Winter Retreat

“Renewal: A Physical and Spiritual Journey” was the theme at Beit Natan’s winter retreat. A generous grant from "The Myra Reinhert Foundation sponsored the event, now in its sixth year. 70 women living with cancer participated in informative seminars & workshops, such as the art of diet & nutrition, laughter, breathing, art, drumming, dance, reflexology, swimming, hiking and more. Participants returned home with their batteries recharged to face ongoing chemotherapy and other debilitating cancer treatments. Thanks to Beit Natan's psychotherapist Jenny Edry for the programs design, and Mrs. Chaya Gotthelf for its implementation. Special thanks to all the volunteers who put their heart and soul into making this a truly memorable event.

Beit Natan’s next Retreat Program is scheduled for July 23rd, 2008 in Jerusalem
