I understand how cancer can be devastating. I know, I am a cancer survivor.

I know there is life after cancer - A New Beginning. I have found solace, peace and hope overlooking beautiful Sun Valley Lake in South Central Iowa. I invite you to join me here for a relaxing and inspiring cancer retreat experience.

Enjoy the tranquil and scenic atmosphere with other cancer survivors who can relate. At A New Beginning, we will deal with the anger, face the fears, learn how to relax... this way we can make each day - a new day.

Sun Valley Lake is a private resort that has water that sparkles like diamonds, clean air, solace and an abundance of wildlife. You can be one with nature or enjoy group activities.

Retreats are held year around with overnight accommodations Monday through Wednesday. Weekend retreats are offered and support groups are held at the retreat center as well. I invite you to come experience a new day that starts with A New Beginning. - Marcia Almquist, President & cancer survivor.
