Rebecca is a writer, workshop facilitator, and international speaker, who has presented across the US and India. She is also the Co-Founder of The Breast and the Sea, a written and photographic project empowering breast cancer survivors. With a background as an herbalist and naturalist, she weaves her lifelong love of nature into every aspect of her work. Raised by a disabled and chronically ill mother, Rebecca experienced illness early on from the perspective of the caregiver. Diagnosed with breast cancer herself in 2009, Rebecca developed an intimate understanding about the losses related to cancer and beyond.
By cultivating creative expression and personal ritual, Rebecca offers a powerful experience of change and growth for her clients and audiences. Her keynote attendees, clients, and workshop participants learn practical techniques they can immediately begin to implement in their daily lives.
Transformational Sessions and Programs
Is there something you are longing to transform? A challenging thought, belief, or pattern that keeps getting in your way? Do you know what it is that is holding you back? Is it right there at the surface, glaring at you through every aspect of your life? Or maybe it shows up as a general feeling of unease or discomfort you can’t yet put your finger on but feel like something is “off.”
Rebecca offers additional guidance to those who wish to delve deeper in the process of inner healing through individual consultations and programs addressing self-acceptance, loss, body image, reclaiming a sense of wholeness, and more.
Some of the tools she draws upon include mindfulness, a strong connection with nature, meaningful ritual, and a variety of creative modalities. Rebecca’s reflective process helps clients to unearth answers to difficult questions and identify personal road blocks. She offers simple effective ways of tackling obstacles to create space for ease and flow.

Workshops
Rebecca shares practical, easy-to-apply tools that participants can use immediately to cultivate profound inner healing. Each workshop provides a safe space for reflection, acceptance, and transformation.
The Breast and the Sea
The Breast and the Sea is a written and photographic compilation highlighting the strength and beauty of those who have been personally affected by breast cancer. People from diverse ages, backgrounds, and walks of life who have lost breast tissue to cancer or prevention of hereditary cancer are interviewed, photographed, or both. Excerpts from these moving stories and images are shared here. We are working toward creating a book, and are seeking publication.
The Breast and the Sea empowers breast cancer survivors, previvors, and patients in the process of emotional healing while sharing our journeys and through reflective, nature-based workshops. These gatherings involve community support, movement practices, and photographic witnessing; deepening participant connections to themselves and the environment. In addition, our project involves gallery exhibitions and speaking engagements.
Each and every one of us has scars of one form or another — whether physical or emotional — as well as the potential to transform.
The Breast and the Sea is named after the story of Rebecca’s relationship with the sea, and the clay breast she made as she came to terms with the upcoming loss of her breast. (Click here to learn more)
Collectively we are more powerful than any of us alone. Just as no single wave in the ocean by itself seems like much, but combined makes up the mighty sea. By weaving our stories and images together, we are redefining beauty, strength, and courage. Please join us in creating a resource that can help make a difference in the lives of breast cancer survivors, previvors, and patients on their journey toward health and wholeness.
Rebecca Pine, a nine-year breast cancer survivor, is the author and workshop facilitator for The Breast and the Sea. Her background is in environmental education and herbal medicine. Rebecca has interviewed over 75 survivors, previvors, and those living with active disease, as well as several experts in the field of breast cancer treatment. Project participants have shared how breast cancer has affected their lives, their families, and their self-image physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Rebecca weaves together implements that have given herself and others she has interviewed strength and courage during their most difficult moments. The excerpts on our ‘stories’ tab show a small sampling of experiences that will be shared in our upcoming book. Her writing expands on these, offering comprehensive tools that can be used at any point along the patient’s healing journey toward transformation and self-acceptance.
