mission

bridget ford harrisThe pastures was created as a sacred space for women to nurture their minds, bodies, and spirits as they journey through the life – changing, and often life affirming, experience of surviving cancer. Our philosophy is that true healing can occur when women are able to draw inspiration and strength from a supportive community that informs, guides, nurtures and embraces them. Embraced by the beautiful Berkshire hills of Massachusetts, the pastures is committed to providing a wide range of healing options and activities during its weekend retreats. Participating in these retreats becomes a beacon of hope for women with cancer.

The mission of the pastures is to help as many women as possible gain the experience they need through practical advice, information, nurturing and support in a sacred, soothing setting.
