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).

Expression and Empowerment Through Poetry

Join Hallie Pahl, a Masters of Social Work CSCAZ intern and slam poet, to explore poetry through a variety of prompts and forms.

Poetry can be a cathartic form of self-expression that will empower you to give voice to and own your story. Slam poetry, sharing poetry aloud, will be an important element, though not required, as slam poetry can cultivate community and confidence.

This workshop will serve as a creative writing space for anyone interested in learning and practicing poetry as an emotional outlet.  The class meets every Tuesday on the zoom platform

Try it out.  We believe you will love it.

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.

The workshop is designed for cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, family members, and friends.  Walking and talking in community with one another while focused on taking in the healing power of nature is a powerful psychosocial healing tool for the mind and heart.

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. We will travel together in the CSCAZ van, or you are welcome to follow in your own car to the trailhead.

Everyone is invited to bring snacks, water, sunscreen, a hat, walking poles, and a sack lunch.

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.

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.

The workshop is designed for cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, family members, and friends.  Walking and talking in community with one another while focused on taking in the healing power of nature is a powerful psychosocial healing tool for the mind and heart.

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. We will travel together in the CSCAZ van, or you are welcome to follow in your own car to the trailhead.

Everyone is invited to bring snacks, water, sunscreen, a hat, walking poles, and a sack lunch. 

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.

Bring your knitting needles and some yarn and join us for this new program, which is open to English- and Spanish-speaking knitters. All levels of knitting proficiency are welcome. Totally new to the joys of knitting? No problem - we'll teach you how to cast on stitches and introduce you to knitting and purling. Already a wiz with the needles? Terrific - bring your latest project and enjoy the company of fellow "yarnies." Knitting is creative and fun, and the gentle clicking of needles can put you in a relaxed and meditative mood that reduces stress. It can also force you to slow down and pace yourself a little - a big plus in our often hectic lives. As facilitator Xiomara Smith puts it, "You don’t have to be an expert to love it, but you must be patient." You can drop in for one session or attend several; like all Cancer Support Community Arizona classes, this program is free to participants.

Tejer es creativo y divertido, y el suave chasquido de las agujas puede ponerte en un estado de ánimo relajado y meditativo que reduce el estrés. También puede obligarlo a reducir la velocidad y mantener un poco el ritmo, una gran ventaja en nuestras vidas a menudo agitadas. Como dice la facilitadora Xiomara Smith: "No tienes que ser un experto para amarlo, pero debes ser paciente".

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.

CSCAZ participants are always looking for opportunities (excuses?!?) to hang out together and share a meal so it is an official CSCAZ program called Lunch Together.

Each Thursday at noon you can meet other CSCAZ participants at a designated Flagstaff location for lunch. This will be at your own expense and you will meet one another at the designated location. Would you like to bring a friend? You are welcome to invite one. Just be sure to always register at least 24 hours in advance so that the table(s) are large enough to fit everyone.

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!

Sound Bath for Healing

Invite your brain waves to slow down and every cell in your body to shift from disease to ease. Vibrations that accompany the sound can balance out emotional imbalances, allowing for optimal flow of the electromagnetic energy and an overall state of wellbeing.

Benefits of Sound Bath Meditation The advantages of sound baths are many. Here are just a few of the reported benefits of this ancient ritual:

• Reduces Stress: Experience significant stress relief as the soothing, ambient sounds calm your nervous system and promote relaxation.
• Improves Sleep: Find it easier to fall asleep and stay asleep as the resonant sounds change your brainwave patterns, improving sleep quality and reducing nighttime awakenings.
• Enhances Meditation: The immersive sounds facilitate a deeper experience, making concentrating and entering a meditative state easier and more profound.
• Boosts Emotional Well-Being: Release negative emotions and experience a more positive outlook.
• Improves Focus and Clarity: Calming the mind enhances focus and mental clarity.
• Alleviates Anxiety and Depression: Slowing down and setting an intention allows the whole body to reset, creating a therapeutic effect on the mind.
• Boosts Immunity: Relaxation and stress reduction have anti-inflammatory effects that reduce stress hormones and cortisol levels, which are known to weaken the body’s natural defenses.
• Increases Energy and Creativity: Sound bath meditation helps to quiet the mind and rid it of distractions allowing you to feel more energized and creative.

When becoming more in-tune with your body you may experience a feeling of calmness, improved mood, and the ability to sleep better. Come with an open mind and open heart. Led by Deb Lash.

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.

The Japanese practice of shinrin yoku, or Forest Bathing, is good for both physical and mental wellbeing.
