About M3F: Rooted in a deep love of music, the arts, and the community
around us, M3F Fest was founded with the purpose to give back. The idea was
simple: two thousand fans, hundreds of lawn chairs, one stage, grandma’s
cooking, and 100% of proceeds donated directly to charity. Twenty-two years
later, we still operate under the same guiding principles, but we’ve surely
grown! The M3F Fund exists as a year-round venture, using our platform and
resources to try and make the world a better place. The M3F Fund wouldn't exist
without the support of our incredible fans, as 100% of every ticket to M3F Fest
goes directly to charity. When you buy a ticket to have the time of their life
at M3F Fest, you are ultimately giving back to the community around them. This
is why we say: Every Ticket Counts! Impact: M3F takes pride in supporting the community as one of the
only 100% non-profit Music Festivals. Since 2004, we have donated over $6
million to local charities. M3F's charitable giving focuses on four main
categories: Arts, Community, Education, and the Environment. https://www.m3ffest.com/

15-Minutes of Movement
Time
4:30 PM
In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog
and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital
stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!
In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions are held on Zoom at 4:00 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate
your day. Each day the movement will be a bit different so that we learn all sorts of different movement techniques to add to our daily movement quota.

Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act.

She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.

Cosmic Healing with Reiki. Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing modality that brings in life force energy to the body to help restore balance and harmony to the body’s energy field. ‘Rei’ means spiritual wisdom and ‘ki’ means life force energy (also known as chi, prana or biofield energy). So, Reiki means ‘Spiritually Guided Life Force Energy.’ There are many wonderful benefits of Reiki. Some include relaxation, reduced anxiety & stress, feeling more centered, relief from chronic pain, emotional healing & stability, increased self-awareness, and strengthened immune system. We know that everything, including our bodies, is composed of energy. Reiki works at an energetic level—activating the body’s innate healing response; initiating mental, emotional, and physical well-being. A Reiki practitioner, who has been attuned to Reiki energy, acts as a conduit for the Universal life force energy and is able to channel the energy to the recipient. Led by Alexandra Morales

15-Minutes of Movement

In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog
and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital
stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!
In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions are held on Zoom at 4:00 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate

simple: two thousand fans, hundreds of lawn chairs, one stage, grandma’s
cooking, and 100% of proceeds donated directly to charity. Twenty-two years
later, we still operate under the same guiding principles, but we’ve surely
grown! The M3F Fund exists as a year-round venture, using our platform and
resources to try and make the world a better place. The M3F Fund wouldn't exist

In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog
and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital
stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

15-Minutes of Movement
Time
4:30 PM
In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog
and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital
stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!
In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions are held on Zoom at 4:00 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate
your day. Each day the movement will be a bit different so that we learn all sorts of different movement techniques to add to our daily movement quota.

Therapeutic Writing
Time
2:00 PM
Location
Virtual
Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.
Taught by Sue Meyn, M C. She has presented to many organizations in Phoenix and now Flagstaff, and was a facilitator for groups at Cancer Support Community Arizona for seventeen years.
This program is being offered to you both in-person at our Flagstaff campus and via Zoom, which is a virtual/online platform that is FREE and accessible with any smartphone, laptop, desktop, or tablet.

Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.

About M3F: Rooted in a deep love of music, the arts, and the community
around us, M3F Fest was founded with the purpose to give back. The idea was
simple: two thousand fans, hundreds of lawn chairs, one stage, grandma’s
cooking, and 100% of proceeds donated directly to charity. Twenty-two years
later, we still operate under the same guiding principles, but we’ve surely
grown! The M3F Fund exists as a year-round venture, using our platform and
resources to try and make the world a better place. The M3F Fund wouldn't exist
without the support of our incredible fans, as 100% of every ticket to M3F Fest
goes directly to charity. When you buy a ticket to have the time of their life
at M3F Fest, you are ultimately giving back to the community around them. This

Profesor Asistente Clínico de Medicina
areciomd@arizona.edu
Desde el principio de mi carrera profesional y personal, tuve el deseo y me esforcé por contribuir a la ciencia médica y, como médico científico hispano, mi objetivo personal ha sido llegar a las poblaciones minoritarias subrepresentadas y desatendidas. Por lo tanto, he elegido un camino que les servirá de cerca en áreas de alta prevalencia como Houston, Tx, Bronx, NY y Tucson, Az. Durante todos estos años de preparación, he adquirido la experiencia, la formación y los conocimientos necesarios para liderar con éxito el proyecto de investigación propuesto.
Cancer Focus: ensayos clínicos de desarrollo de fármacos en fase temprana y tardía del cáncer genitourinario; Profilaxis, tratamiento y pacientes de alto riesgo de tromboembolismo venoso asociado al cáncer; Disparidades en la salud del cáncer y educación, detección, acceso y participación en ensayos clínicos de las minorías

15-Minutes of Movement
Time
4:30 PM
In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog
and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital
stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!
In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions are held on Zoom at 4:00 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate
your day. Each day the movement will be a bit different so that we learn all sorts of different movement techniques to add to our daily movement quota.
This program is being offered to you via Zoom only, which is a virtual/online platform that is FREE and accessible with any smartphone, laptop, desktop, or tablet. To access the Zoom link, please register here and login information will be sent to you with

Therapeutic Writing
Time
2:00 PM
Location
Virtual
Grab some lined paper and a pen – that’s all you need! Writing images from one’s memory and imagination can be a healing act. According to studies, some individuals may benefit from participating in expressive writing as part of their supportive cancer treatment. The writing act can be a form of healing for patients dealing with a cancer diagnosis. Sue has been promoting journal writing as a tool for personal growth and self-care for many years. She prefers the term “therapeutic writing” believing It better explains the benefits inherent in its use. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.
Taught by Sue Meyn, M C. She has presented to many organizations in Phoenix and now Flagstaff, and was a facilitator for groups at Cancer Support Community Arizona for seventeen years.
This program is being offered to you both in-person at our Flagstaff campus and via Zoom, which is a virtual/online platform that is FREE and accessible with any smartphone, laptop, desktop, or tablet.

15-Minutes of Movement
Time
4:30 PM
In Anticancer Living, Cohen (2016) tells us, “Patients who exercised while undergoing chemo or radiation were more likely to have received all their treatments on time; experienced increased self-esteem and physical functioning; reported less brain fog
and more mental clarity; experienced less fatigue and improved sleep; reported less nausea and improved appetite; experienced less nerve pain and numbness in extremities, had improved mood and less depression and anxiety; experienced shorter hospital
stays and fewer trips to the doctor; and, most important, experienced a higher general quality of life” (p. 205). Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!
In honor of this life-sustaining practice, you are invited to join us in “15-minutes of movement” on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The sessions are held on Zoom at 4:00 pm. Take a break and enjoy 15 minutes that will help reinvigorate
your day. Each day the movement will be a bit different so that we learn all sorts of different movement techniques to add to our daily movement quota.
This program is being offered to you via Zoom only, which is a virtual/online platform that is FREE and accessible with any smartphone, laptop, desktop, or tablet. To access the Zoom link, please register here and login information will be sent to you with
