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!

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 or caregivers dealing with a cancer experience. 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.

Our Bodies, Our Stories Writing Workshop in NAZ Rise and Recharge
Time
11:00 AM
Our stories are meant to be shared. Let’s imagine the stories that never got the chance to be told. Let’s think of the stories that are still inside of us waiting to be given a voice. Writing gives us a chance to tap into our creativity and see ourselves
and the world differently as we uncover new insights and truths about our lives. Our facilitator, Dr. Kerri Quinn shares "I am an associate teaching professor with the Honors College at Northern Arizona University where I teach creative writing, literature,
and seminars in critical reading and writing. I also designed and facilitated employee wellness writing workshops at Flagstaff Medical Center. Through these experiences, I have refined my methodology for fostering emotional connection in small teams.
As the co-founder of The Creative Collective, I facilitate online writing workshops for women. Last month, my partner and I hosted our first yoga and writing retreat for women. The retreat created a space where storytelling and movement became tools for
self-discovery and change as participants explored the art of creative living. I am also collaborating with fellow writers I met at an off-Broadway storytelling event last year to plan a writing retreat in Sedona, Arizona in the spring of 2026. Kerri
promises to combine creative writing prompts with gentle yoga poses and meditation to cultivate mindfulness and promote relaxation. It sounds like the perfect opportunity to engage in psychosocial healing together.

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
4:00 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

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:

Therapeutic Writing
Time
2:00 PM

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 or caregivers dealing with a cancer experience. 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.

15-Minutes of Movement
Time

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!

Therapeutic Writing
Time

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.

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.

15-Minutes of Movement
Time
4:00 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

Therapeutic Writing
Time

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.

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!
