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!

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/

Un programa surgido de la idea de que a veces, lo que más necesitamos es una taza de café y alguien con quien charlar. Aquí, nos reunimos para compartir nuestras historias, experiencias y sentimientos, creando un lugar donde cada participante puede sentirse escuchado y comprendido.

Acerca de M3F:

Arraigado en un profundo amor por la música, las artes y la comunidad que nos rodea, M3F Fest se fundó con el propósito de retribuir. La idea era simple: dos mil fanáticos, cientos de sillas de jardín, un escenario, la cocina de la abuela y el 100% de las ganancias donadas directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Veintidós años después, seguimos operando bajo los mismos principios rectores, ¡pero seguramente hemos crecido! El Fondo M3F existe como una empresa durante todo el año, que utiliza nuestra plataforma y recursos para intentar hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. El Fondo M3F no existiría sin el apoyo de nuestros increíbles fans, ya que el 100% de cada entrada al M3F Fest se destina directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Cuando compras una entrada para pasar el mejor momento de su vida en el M3F Fest, en última instancia, estás retribuyendo a la comunidad que los rodea. Por eso decimos: ¡Cada entrada cuenta!

Impacto:

M3F se enorgullece de apoyar a la comunidad como uno de los únicos festivales de música 100% sin fines de lucro. Desde 2004, hemos donado más de 6 millones de dólares a organizaciones benéficas locales. Las donaciones caritativas de M3F se centran en cuatro categorías principales: artes, comunidad, educación y medio ambiente.

The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, or Forest Bathing, is good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness.

Let's support one another by introducing a healthy lifestyle choice to our Wednesdays and practice forest bathing by walking together from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm in gorgeous Flagstaff, AZ. Please ALWAYS register in advance so we know you are coming. Forest Bathing starts at noon at CSCAZ northern Arizona, 914 N. San Francisco Street, weather permitting, each Wednesday throughout the spring and summer. If we have inclement weather on Wednesday, that day will magically morph into expressive arts.

The group will depart from CSCAZ at 9:30 am and everyone is invited to bring snacks and/or lunch, water, sunscreen, a hat, and walking poles.

• May 28 Priest Draw Trail

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.

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!

Forest Bathing, the Japanese practice of shinrin-yoku, is a combination of medication and nature therapy. It recognizes the immense power of nature to heal. The practice of forest bathing reduces stress hormone production, lowers heart rate and blood pressure, and increases feelings of well-being and happiness.

Rise & Recharge at CSCAZ in June starts with a Forest Bathing walk at Buffalo Park (2400 N. Gemini Road, Flagstaff, 86004) just off Cedar on the east side of town. We will meet by the big buffalo just north of the parking lot and start our walk at 9:30 a.m.

Look for our NAU INTERNS in their bright red CSCAZ shirts and join in. After the walk everyone can caravan to the office (914 N. San Francisco Street) for the rest of Rise & Recharge.

Be sure to wear sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, and sturdy walking shoes. Bring plenty of water and walking poles if you use them.

Join Us for a Special Viewing Event: Policy Power Hour with CSC’s Cancer Policy Institute (CPI)
Wednesday, June 26th at 3:00 PM

Cancer Support Community Arizona invites you to join us for an important and timely webinar viewing hosted by our staff:

Policy Power Hour with CSC’s Cancer Policy Institute (CPI).

A cancer diagnosis brings enough uncertainty on its own—but recent shifts in healthcare policy, research funding, and insurance coverage have added additional layers of complexity for those impacted by cancer. While we may not have all the answers, this session will explore shared concerns and offer actionable ways to navigate this evolving landscape.

Topics will include:
• Impacts from the Trump administration’s first 100 days
• Changes in federal funding for cancer research
• Proposed modifications to Medicaid
• Advocacy opportunities and how you can get involved

This is a great opportunity to learn more about how national policy decisions are shaping the cancer care environment—and what we can do together to support and advocate for those in our community.

We hope to see you there!

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/

Un programa surgido de la idea de que a veces, lo que más necesitamos es una taza de café y alguien con quien charlar. Aquí, nos reunimos para compartir nuestras historias, experiencias y sentimientos, creando un lugar donde cada participante puede sentirse escuchado y comprendido.

Levantate y Recargo es Presentado Por

Acerca de M3F:

Arraigado en un profundo amor por la música, las artes y la comunidad que nos rodea, M3F Fest se fundó con el propósito de retribuir. La idea era simple: dos mil fanáticos, cientos de sillas de jardín, un escenario, la cocina de la abuela y el 100% de las ganancias donadas directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Veintidós años después, seguimos operando bajo los mismos principios rectores, ¡pero seguramente hemos crecido! El Fondo M3F existe como una empresa durante todo el año, que utiliza nuestra plataforma y recursos para intentar hacer del mundo un lugar mejor. El Fondo M3F no existiría sin el apoyo de nuestros increíbles fans, ya que el 100% de cada entrada al M3F Fest se destina directamente a organizaciones benéficas. Cuando compras una entrada para pasar el mejor momento de su vida en el M3F Fest, en última instancia, estás retribuyendo a la comunidad que los rodea. Por eso decimos: ¡Cada entrada cuenta!

Impacto:

M3F se enorgullece de apoyar a la comunidad como uno de los únicos festivales de música 100% sin fines de lucro. Desde 2004, hemos donado más de 6 millones de dólares a organizaciones benéficas locales. Las donaciones caritativas de M3F se centran en cuatro categorías principales: artes, comunidad, educación y medio ambiente.

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.

The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, or Forest Bathing, is good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness.

Let's support one another by introducing a healthy lifestyle choice to our Wednesdays and practice forest bathing by walking together from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm in gorgeous Flagstaff, AZ. Please ALWAYS register in advance so we know you are coming. Forest Bathing starts at noon at CSCAZ northern Arizona, 914 N. San Francisco Street, weather permitting, each Wednesday throughout the spring and summer. If we have inclement weather on Wednesday, that day will magically morph into expressive arts.

The group will depart from CSCAZ at 9:30 am and everyone is invited to bring snacks and/or lunch, water, sunscreen, a hat, and walking poles.

Upcoming destinations include:

  
• May 28 Priest Draw Trail

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.

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.

The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, or Forest Bathing, is good for both physical and mental wellbeing. It is proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness.

Let's support one another by introducing a healthy lifestyle choice to our Wednesdays and practice forest bathing by walking together from 9:30 am - 12:30 pm in gorgeous Flagstaff, AZ. Please ALWAYS register in advance so we know you are coming. Forest Bathing starts at noon at CSCAZ northern Arizona, 914 N. San Francisco Street, weather permitting, each Wednesday throughout the spring and summer. If we have inclement weather on Wednesday, that day will magically morph into expressive arts.

The group will depart from CSCAZ at 9:30 am and everyone is invited to bring snacks and/or lunch, water, sunscreen, a hat, and walking poles.

Upcoming destinations include:

  
• May 28 Priest Draw Trail
• June 4 Campbell Mesa
• June 11 Picture Canyon
• June 18 Fort Valley
• June 25 Forest Trail via Griffith Springs
• July 2 Veit Springs

If you are diagnosed with cancer that has metastasized (or spread) to other areas of the body, your needs may be different from those who have cancer at an earlier stage. In this group, we’ll provide a safe space to explore the unique ways in which cancer is impacting your life.  By building a community with others who “get it,” you can learn how to increase your quality of life and support one another through the ups and downs of a complex cancer journey. Led by a licensed clinician, this group is focused on increasing hope, empowerment, and community.

A brief interview is required to determine appropriate group placement. Please call (602) 712-1006 or email support@cscaz.org to schedule the interview before registering.
