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.

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!

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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/

Acerca de M3F: Arraigado en un
profundo amor por la música, las artes y la comunidad que nos rodea, M3F Fest

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 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. Join certified instructor Liz Springborn for yoga each Tuesday morning at the Northern Arizona Flagstaff CSCAZ location. Liz is a registered
nurse serving in oncology and bone marrow transplant when she was a bedside nurse. She started yoga for her own health and wellbeing. She loves learning and completed a yoga teacher training and enjoys teaching many styles of yoga. This class is specifically

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.

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. Join certified instructor Liz Springborn for yoga each Tuesday morning at the Northern Arizona Flagstaff CSCAZ location. Liz is a registered

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!
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
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.

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.

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. Join certified instructor Liz Springborn for yoga each Tuesday morning at the Northern Arizona Flagstaff CSCAZ location. Liz is a registered
nurse serving in oncology and bone marrow transplant when she was a bedside nurse. She started yoga for her own health and wellbeing. She loves learning and completed a yoga teacher training and enjoys teaching many styles of yoga. This class is specifically

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

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. Join certified instructor Liz Springborn for yoga each Tuesday morning at the Northern Arizona Flagstaff CSCAZ location. Liz is a registered
nurse serving in oncology and bone marrow transplant when she was a bedside nurse. She started yoga for her own health and wellbeing. She loves learning and completed a yoga teacher training and enjoys teaching many styles of yoga. This class is specifically

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.
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
