Kokolulu Farm and Cancer Retreats on the Big Island offers free healing retreats to cancer patients at its North Kohala location. The owners (a teacher/therapist and a registered nurse /cancer survivor) support their retreats through donations. The focus is on diet, gentle exercise, relaxation and self-awareness; their farm provides nutritious organic fruits, vegetables and herbs. See www.cancer-retreats.org.
