Programs

Prepare yourself for an incredible group empowerment vacation called “A Mermaids Journey.” This one-of-a-kind self-discovery retreat will enrich your body, mind and spirit. This program is designed for spiritually minded people who desire an emotional healing experience. These experiences often require the courage to dive deep within your soul to find the strength to release fear, anger and anxiety in a supportive group environment 

This is an empowerment vacation that encourages you to do the hard work of self-discovery, self- love and intentional healing. The journey will develop your the ability to face your fears head on and overcome the obstacles that have been in your way while fighting cancer. This is an empowerment vacation that encourages you to do the hard work of self-discovery. You will be supported and nourished by sister survivors as you acknowledge your inner and outer beauty in the transformational mermaid journey.

The empowerment vacation includes a mandatory multiday 3 to 4-hour mandatory transformational guided meditation workshop and a photo shoot aboard a cruise ship or at a beautiful resort. For the greater collective intention of the group, we offer this experience to survivors only.

Empowerment Vacations are offered on specific dates due to the size of the group and cover the cost of accommodation and food, but do not cover the cost of transportation to travel to and from the vacation destination. Recipients must be able to purchase airfare and transfers to and from the destination resort or cruise line.

Application and medical clearance* required as there may be some physical requirements at the resort.

Our Wellness Vacation varies from 3 to 7 nights and can be held in or out of the USA. These group retreat style vacations focus on health and wellness, and are more focused on those who find fitness a priority in their recovery.

These vacations are for survivors only. Vacations are scheduled two to three times per year. A credit card is required at check-in. All meals and taxes are included. Flights are not included. 

Send Me On Vacation’s Empowerment program “A Mermaids Journey” has changed the lives of hundreds of survivors. These past recipients will continue to be an inspiration, find deep meaningful friendships and continue their emotional healing through the  Sisters & Angels Empowerment and Mentoring Program.

The program combines a new Send Me On Vacation recipient, a “Mermaid” and a past participant, an “Angel,” together on an Empowerment Vacation. The angel acts as a peer mentor and volunteer for her mermaid by providing her support and encouragement throughout the Mermaid's Journey Program. Volunteer training is a requirement. Mermaids & Angels will be paired together as roommates.

Past applicants will raise $800 to attend. These raised funds cover the accommodations, empowerment workshop and food. Additional excursions, spending money and alcohol will not be covered.  The cost of travel to and from the vacation destination is the responsibility of both applicants.
