For Health & Sustainability
Come to Harmony Hill

If you value environmental awareness and sustainability, come to Harmony Hill for your next retreat. One of our core values is sustainability-operating in right relationship with the earth through recycling, organic gardening, use of nontoxic/recycled materials, incorporating built green techniques and products in our facilities, and conscious consumption of resources.

Harmony Hill does this because of our commitment to sustainability and because it furthers our mission-to improve the quality of life for those affected by cancer, providing support and resources that inspire renewal. Often our guests have weakened immune systems and are sensitive to environmental toxins. We want our buildings to be low-toxin environments for all of our guests.

Anyone is welcome at Harmony Hill-not just those living with cancer. If you care about the environment and value sustainable practices, Harmony Hill is for you!

Income from facility rentals helps to support our no-cost cancer programs.

BOOK REVIEW
Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips by Kris Carr

Skirt! Books an Imprint of Globe Pequot Press, Guilford, CT, 2007. $17.95

Wearing her cowboy boots through everyday of the scans, biopsies, and batteries of test and re-tests, Kris Carr proves that she is indeed just the gal to give cancer a makeover. Part scrap book, part journal and bursting with color and energy, Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips guides you through 'Cancer University' thirty-something style. With the intimacy of a chat with your best friend and the liveliness to perk up even the most depressed or scared, Carr tells the story of how she was diagnosed with incurable cancer (Happy Valentines Day!), quit her job, got really healthy, and ended up getting hitched! Peppered with "facts, hints, hell-yeahs, how-tos, and know-hows" she warns not to go Googling if you are a newbie to cancer--instead, avoid the overwhelm by having a friend do the research and pass along only the bits you really need to know. Similarly, follow in the wisdom of those who have gone before by preparing yourself for the barrage of questions from well meaning friends and family that focus more on mortality than recovery. Recommending 'Cancer Babe Play Dates' to experience your own vibrancy in the faces of others with cancer, and recruiting a 'Cancer Pal' to accompany you to doctor visits (both for support and as a second pair of ears for all that medical speak), Carr offers a glimpse into how to become a true 'Survivor' whether you have been 'stamped with an expiration date' or know someone who has. Covering everything from Healthy Eating 101 (ie. the miracle of wheatgrass and coconut juice), doctor shopping and insurance, to how to get back into the dating game once your "sex drive gets slammed into reverse" by the big C (lacy bras and hot baths with candles work wonders), Carr keeps you laughing even when you would prefer to be crying.
