What To Expect

A space to reconnect and rebuild

The Odyssey course is a five-day residential experience, bringing together a small group of people who understand what it means to live with and beyond cancer.

You will take part in a range of activities and shared experiences, designed to help you try new things, build confidence and focus on what you can do. Everything is adapted so you can take part at your own pace.

There is no expectation to be a certain way, or to talk about cancer. The experience is designed to challenge without overwhelming, with support throughout.

You do not need to be fit, confident or have done anything like this before.

Every course is different, and participants are not given a detailed schedule in advance. This is a deliberate part of the experience, helping you focus on the moment rather than what comes next.

Many participants describe leaving the course feeling more confident, more connected to themselves and more able to enjoy everyday life again. For some, this leads to changes in work or direction. For others, it is about feeling more comfortable in themselves, their relationships and everyday life.

For many, Odyssey enables you to feel more like yourself again and move forward in your own way.


“I feel so passionately about the benefits I have reaped from this amazing adventure. I believe it has changed my outlook on my life and instead of feeling cheated, I now feel feel lucky to have had this life changing opportunity to address my work/life balance. I now prioritise what’s important and who I love most. Having a shock, facing my own mortality, has put things into perspective. I LOVE ODYSSEY and all it stands for. Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart”.
