What is Kairos?
Kairos Therapeutic Retreat, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, forges resilient communities through whole-person healing practices that rekindle inner strength and empower cancer survivors to thrive after the trauma of cancer treatment.
Research | Kairos stands out with a distinctive commitment to publishing outcomes & research that drive positive change in the field of survivorship. We emphasize the crucial need to educate survivor communities, recognizing that knowledge is a powerful catalyst for health care transformation.
Aspiration | Our vision is to revolutionize national cancer survivorship by publishing our research findings and integrating equitable, high-value, whole-person care into every cancer treatment plan.
Retreats | Kairos Resilience Retreats provide participants with a transformative experience. Our whole-person approach, combined with integrative therapies, introspection, and community building create a safe space for reflection and personal growth.
Community | Bonds forged during the events have endured, creating a deeply meaningful community among participants and serving as a testament to the lasting impact the Kairos community has on the lives of survivors.
Why our work is important
At Kairos Therapeutic Retreat, our core belief drives us to humanize care by providing whole-person, community-centered care beyond traditional oncology care that focuses mostly on the disease.
In the US, the absence of an integrative, science-based standard compelled us to take action, bridging gaps in the healing process, and empowering survivors to move beyond mere surviving to thriving.
Our human-centered based healing model and approach delivers results that matter most to survivors.
