Some men naturally feel apprehensive about coming to a Retreat full of strangers; reading this might help them feel more comfortable:
“My son-in-law attended the 2023 Colorado Retreat and told me how the Retreat changed his life and gave him the courage to live a full life. He was concerned that his ostomy bag would limit his activity and ability to enjoy life, but at the Retreat, he could fish, walk in the river and have fun again. It inspired him to do more: hiking, biking, surfing and traveling the world. He said the Courageous Conversations helped him deal with the mental challenges of cancer which he hadn’t realized he was living with. Knowing how hard cancer has impacted me, he strongly encouraged me to apply, and I have.” Be Well! Fish On!
