Strength for the Journey Virtual Cancer Retreat July, 6 2026
Strength for the Journey Virtual Cancer Retreats with Dr Sharon May
July 6, 2026 from 3-3:45pm EST- Stay Rooted When Life Feels Uprooted
Strength for the Journey Theme: Stay Rooted in Your Faith and What Grounds You
Cancer can make life feel suddenly unstable. Appointments, scans, treatments, side effects, uncertainty, and changing plans can leave women feeling as though the ground beneath them has shifted. This retreat creates a gentle space to return to what still holds: faith, breath, prayer, scripture, values, trusted relationships, memories of strength, and the quiet presence of God. This retreats helps participants identify what they can return to when they feel afraid, overwhelmed, tired, or alone.
Coaching Questions:
“What grounds me when I do not have answers?”
“What truth can I return to today?”
“What helps me feel held, even when I do not feel strong?”

Loving Well in Cancer: Virtual Retreat May 23, 2026
Strength for the Journey: Loving Well in Cancer: Virtual Retreat May 23, 2026
Loving Well – Even in the Middle of Cancer (Virtual) on May 23, 2026, is part of the monthly Strength for the Journey retreat series. This 90-minute virtual retreat is led by internationally recognized therapist and author Dr. Sharon May, Ph.D., LMFT, and is created specifically for cancer patients and caregivers.
Cancer changes relationships. Roles shift, emotions rise quickly, energy runs low, and the people we love most can suddenly feel harder to connect with. Yet research consistently shows that loving, supportive relationships are among the most powerful sources of resilience and healing for both patients and caregivers.
What It Means to Love Well in This Season
Strength for the Journey: Loving Well is a gentle, therapist-led retreat designed for cancer patients and those who walk alongside them. This experience is not about loving perfectly or giving more than you have. It is about learning to love wisely, compassionately, and honestly—without losing yourself.
Grounded in psychology, attachment research, and faith, this retreat creates space to reflect on how cancer impacts connection, how fear and exhaustion show up in relationships, and how small acts of presence, communication, repair, and healthy boundaries can restore closeness and peace.
During this time, you’ll be invited to slow down, breathe, and explore what loving well looks like in this season—at your own pace, without pressure to be strong or have it all together.
If you are longing for steadier, kinder, and more life-giving relationships in the midst of cancer, we invite you to join us.
