Post-Cancer Care Retreat

Recovery Support + Nature Healing + Caregiver Wellness

2 Days / 1 Night Ganghwa Island, Incheon $800 per person, 2-day package 1–4 persons (patient + caregivers)

The Experience

The Post-Cancer Care Retreat is designed for patients who have completed cancer treatment in Korea and need a gentle, medically-supervised transition back to daily life. This 2-day program recognizes that recovery extends far beyond the hospital — it requires nurturing the body's depleted immune system, calming the anxious mind, and restoring the caregiver relationship that has been strained by the treatment journey.

Set in Ganghwa Island's pristine natural environment — just 1 hour from Incheon International Airport — the retreat combines medical monitoring with forest therapy, immune-boosting nutrition, guided meditation, and dedicated caregiver wellness sessions. Every element is designed with the understanding that both patients and their loved ones need healing.

Stories

What Visitors Say

"My mother completed her cancer treatment at Samsung Medical Center. The doctors said she was clear, but she was still so fragile — physically and emotionally. This retreat gave her something the hospital couldn't: peace. The forest therapy brought tears to her eyes. She said it was the first time she felt alive again, not just surviving."

C
Chen W.China

"As a caregiver, I didn't realize how much I needed this too. The dedicated session for caregivers was unexpected and deeply moving. Watching my wife find peace in the meditation session while I finally had space to process my own emotions — that was the real healing."
