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

Caring for someone with cancer can be both an act of love and a heavy, unseen burden. Many caregivers give so much that they slowly lose touch with their own needs, energy, and sense of self.

This virtual workshop offers a quiet, supportive space to slow down and be human. Together, we’ll talk honestly about caregiver burnout, explore how stress lives in the body, and practice simple, grounding tools to help you feel more steady and supported. There is no pressure to fix anything or do more — just an invitation to care for yourself, too.

Participants will leave feeling seen, validated, and equipped with small, meaningful ways to restore energy and compassion — for themselves and for those they care for.

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 10:00 am - 12:oo noon in gorgeous Flagstaff, AZ. Please ALWAYS register in advance so we know you are coming. If we have inclement weather on Wednesday, this workshop will magically morph into expressive arts. We will not go out if trails are icy or snow covered or the temperature is at or below 32 degrees.

The group will depart from CSCAZ at 10:00 am and everyone is invited to bring snacks, water, sunscreen, a hat, and walking poles.

• Wednesday, March 11, Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve:  Bring your hiking poles in case we come across any ice on the trail, and hiking tread shoes are probably safer than tennis shoes!!!

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 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!

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 10:00 am - 12:oo noon in gorgeous Flagstaff, AZ. Please ALWAYS register in advance so we know you are coming. If we have inclement weather on Wednesday, this workshop will magically morph into expressive arts. We will not go out if trails are icy or snow covered or the temperature is at or below 32 degrees.

The group will depart from CSCAZ at 10:00 am and everyone is invited to bring snacks, water, sunscreen, a hat, and walking poles.

• Wednesday, March 11, Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve:  Bring your hiking poles in case we come across any ice on the trail, and hiking tread shoes are probably safer than tennis shoes!!!

Let's support one another by introducing a healthy lifestyle choice to our Wednesdays and practice forest bathing by walking together from 10:00 am - 12:oo noon in gorgeous Flagstaff, AZ. Please ALWAYS register in advance so we know you are coming. If we have inclement weather on Wednesday, this workshop will magically morph into expressive arts. We will not go out if trails are icy or snow covered or the temperature is at or below 32 degrees.

The group will depart from CSCAZ at 10:00 am and everyone is invited to bring snacks, water, sunscreen, a hat, and walking poles.

• Wednesday, March 11, Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve:  Bring your hiking poles in case we come across any ice on the trail, and hiking tread shoes are probably safer than tennis shoes!!!

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.

A brief interview is required to determine appropriate group placement. Please call (602) 712-1006 or email support@cscaz.org to schedule the interview before registering.

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.

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!

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!

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.
