    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 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 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 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.

    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:

    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.

    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!

    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.

      Anatomia del estrés Time 5:30 PM Location Buidling A

      Se puede definir el estrés como un estado de preocupación o tensión mental generado por una situación difícil. Todas las personas tenemos un cierto grado de estrés, ya que se trata de una respuesta natural a las amenazas y a otros estímulos. Es la forma en que reaccionamos al estrés lo que marca el modo en que afecta a nuestro bienestar.

      El estrés afecta tanto a la mente como al cuerpo. Es positivo tener un poco, pues nos ayuda a realizar las actividades diarias, pero cuando el estrés pasa a ser excesivo tiene consecuencias físicas y psíquicas. Sin embargo, podemos aprender a lidiar con él para sentirnos menos abrumados y mejorar nuestro bienestar físico y mental.

      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.

      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.

      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!

      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.

      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.

Sounds like a protocol we all should embrace. Healthy living through movement!

      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.

      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.

      Yoga Time 10:00 AM

      Yoga practices can provide many benefits for those impacted by cancer from improving overall health to improving quality of life. Yoga helps with stress and anxiety, pain, sleep immune system regulation, appetite and physical function.

      Stress and Anxiety: Yoga can help cancer patients relax and cope with stress, anxiety, and depression. It can also lower heart rate and blood pressure.

      Pain: Yoga can help reduce sensitivity to pain.

      Sleep: Yoga can help improve quality of sleep and improve Circadian rhythm.

      Immune System: Yoga can help boost the immune system and some studies have found consistent yoga during treatment reduces growth of tumors.

      Appetite: Yoga can help increase appetite, loss of appetite is a common side effect of some cancer treatments.

      Physical Function: Yoga can help improve physical function, including flexibility and balance, and reduce risk of falls. It can also help cancer patients move around more easily after surgery.

      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 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.
