What is the HHC?

Who is Brooksong Retreat & Cancer Support Centre?

Brooksong creates healing spaces and community for people living with cancer and for the people supporting them.

Located in the Haliburton Highlands on a beautiful property surrounded by forests and ponds, we provide a variety of in-person and online retreats and programs that offer rest and renewal, companionship, meaningful discussions, healthy and delicious food, and an introduction to evidence-informed practices that tend body, mind, and soul while living with cancer (for example: time in nature, restorative yoga, massage, expressive arts, music, and group conversation). Our retreats and programs welcome those in the Haliburton area as well as people across Ontario.

You're invited to get involved.

How do you want to move?
Walk, paddle, stretch, paint, create, swim, take photos—anything that feels good.
How do you want to participate in HHC?
- Fundraise as an individual (no team required)
- Join our Community Team, “Brooksong Community Team” (a welcoming group of staff, volunteers, past participants, and friends of Brooksong)
- Join another existing team (your friend has a team and you just need to join)
- Create your own team (and invite others to join it)
What will your HHC goal be? Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing:
- 5 minutes of chair yoga each day to bring the gift of gentle movement and breath to a yoga experience at retreat, helping someone reconnect with their body in a safe, supported way
- Create something every day (painting, photography, music, etc.) to help make an expressive arts workshop possible, giving someone space to process, play, and heal through creativity
- Spend 35 minutes in nature daily (walking, sitting, or moving mindfully) to make a guided forest therapy experience possible, offering calm and connection to someone seeking healing
- As a team, move 250 km in 2 months (bike, walk, paddle, dance…) to offer the gift of a 4-day retreat to someone living with cancer, a chance to rest, be cared for, and find a caring community
- Host a company-wide wellness challenge, talent show, or neighbourhood BBQ to help send people living with cancer (and their caregivers) to a 4-day retreat that offers deep rest, compassionate care, and healing connection with others

Your Donations Make a Difference.

We need your help to ensure that no one walks alone through a cancer experience. All donations and funds raised make it possible for us to provide our cancer support programs.

We ensure that the people who participate in our programs know that there are those, unknown to them, who are offering support and care during a difficult time.
