Surf and Wellbeing Retreats for Adults Impacted by Cancer
“It felt like a big shot of power and positivity for the soul.”

What are SeaChange Retreats?
Led by Dr Helen Reynolds, Specialist Clinical Psychologist, Dr Bhavna Oza, NHS Doctor and Dannie MacLennan, Project Coordinator, SeaChange Retreats are bespoke retreats for adults impacted by cancer. Through surfing, yoga, mindfulness and specialist workshops, we offer participants the opportunity to take time out for themselves – to strengthen physically and emotionally; to feel restored and nourished; and to build connections with others with similar experiences. Supported by research and evidence, and guided by feedback and consultation, we are proud to offer our retreats to the cancer community. Retreats are free for participants to access, funded through grants and donations. Come and join us!
“I was feeling low, tired and with a lack of motivation I nearly cancelled attending.
But I can honestly say it was the best day I have had.”

Fantastic day. Relaxed, stress-free and fun. All my requirements were catered for. All the team were caring, supportive and good company. Would 100% do it again.

I love the idea that recovery can be fun! It gives you a way to release negative energy in a happy, light way, as a change from the exhausting mental slog that it can sometimes be.
