Join us for our Blue Lotus Wellness Retreat!

A beautiful evening of restoration, reflection, and community. This special event brings together a collective of gifted healers offering a variety of modalities: Reiki, acupuncture, intuitive guidance, orographs, energy work, and more. You’ll also find moments of storytelling, quiet connection, and gentle support.

Set on the serene grounds of Blue Lotus Wilderness Retreat, the land itself is part of the magic. With its peaceful natural setting, a meditative labyrinth walk, and the gentle presence of the woods all around, even just being there is healing. Group offerings like yoga, breathwork, and forest bathing will also be available throughout the event.

Empty Walls?

Consider our Italian poster art as a bold way to fill your wall & heart spaces! Tom & Lynn Nackers generously donated over 20 framed canvas prints to raise funds for our beneficiaries. A couple of pieces are hanging around town on consignment, many thanks to La Merenda, The Pasta Tree, Eddie Martini’s, and Vintage Elkhart Lake for showcasing and promoting our mission.
Every cent donated goes toward the $250 allotted for each beneficiary, each & every month aiding through treatment. We are so grateful for your support!

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Savage Support assist those battling breast cancer?

We provide practical aid with non-medical needs to those experiencing breast cancer. We do this by providing a monthly stipend to access services we have vetted, setting up opportunities to meet others on their breast cancer journeys, and by providing resources to help with their day-to-day needs.

What don’t you provide assistance for?

We do not provide assistance for rent, mortgage, insurance, utilities, bills, personal debt, tuition, luxury items, clothing except for items except for items directly related to breast cancer treatment.

Am I signing up to be part of a support group?

Only if you choose to do so. We offer a variety of activities for our beneficiaries to get together and build a network of individuals on the same journey, but these activities are not mandatory. Additionally, our website director is in the process of creating a chat room dedicated to beneficiaries if interacting that way is appealing.

Do I have a stipend to use on services you provide?

Yes, each beneficiary is evaluated according to need and provided with a monthly stipend. This amount may vary from person to person. That stipend offers an option between the services provided through our connections with local businesses that have aligned with Savage Support and completed an interview on-boarding process.

How long can my assistance continue?

We have a general time frame of 2 years, but each beneficiary is evaluated on a case by case basis and that time frame may be longer or shorter, depending on your individual case.

Does it matter if I’m diagnosed anywhere between Stage 0 or metastatic?

No. Whatever the stage of your breast cancer, we are here to help as long as you have received a diagnosis of breast cancer.
