About this event

The Still Rise Farms Wellness Retreat is a rejuvenating, single-day retreat in the countryside of Perkasie, Pennsylvania, created for individuals living with breast and ovarian cancer or chronic illness, along with the clinicians who support them. Presented by the Still Rise Foundation, the day pairs evidence-based wellness with warmth and community. Registration opens at 9:00 AM with a light breakfast and herbal tea, followed by opening remarks from Dr. Monique Gary and Melissa Christie. Sessions include a 'Food as Medicine' segment on nutrition, managing treatment side effects, and helpful resources, plus programming on movement, connection, and overall wellness. Set on a working farm, the retreat offers a calm, restorative environment away from clinical settings where participants can focus on healing and self-care. Capacity is limited, and organizers ask that past attendees allow newcomers priority so more people can benefit. Running from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, it is a meaningful option for patients, survivors, and caregivers seeking practical wellness tools and supportive community in a peaceful rural setting.
