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.

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.

Expressive Arts: focuses on projects that help participants explore the changes and challenges they face through various artistic methods. No experience necessary. Materials provided.

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.

Learn simple strength and balance exercises with appropriate modifications for anyone at any level in this class. This is a live class with a virtual Instructor.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Join CSCAZ Intern, Hallie Pahl, to explore poetry and express yourself through writing. Hallie has been writing and performing poetry at Flagstaff and Phoenix poetry slams and open mics for the past seven years, writing primarily poems regarding mental health.

Poetry can be a very cathartic and healing form of expression.

You will have the option of exploring a variety of prompts and will learn three different forms of poetry: a list poem, a haiku, and a pantoum. Form can provide structure to a poem which can help with writers' block.

You will be able to take home a poetry workshop packet in case you would like to explore different forms of poetry and prompts on your own time.

Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing modality that brings 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.

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.
