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!

R&R: Knitting/Grupo de Tejer
Time
10:00 AM
Location
Main House
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. Traiga sus agujas de tejer y un poco de hilo y únase a nosotros para este nuevo programa, que está abierto a tejedores.
Todos los niveles de competencia en el tejido son bienvenidos. ¿Totalmente nuevo en las alegrías de tejer? No hay problema: le enseñaremos cómo lanzar puntos de sutura y le presentaremos el tejido y el fruncido. ¿Ya eres un genio con las agujas? Fantástico: traerle el último proyecto y disfrutar de la compañía de otros "yarnies".
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".
Puede asistir a una sesión o asistir a varias; como todas las clases de Cancer Support Community Arizona, este programa es gratuito para los participantes.

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.

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.

R&R: Caring for Yourself While Caring for Another
Time
10:00 AM
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.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Facilitator
Introduction
Nicole Havermale is a health and well-being coach with experience in cancer care and supporting individuals through burnout, stress, and life transitions. Her work is rooted in compassion, evidence-based behavior change, and a deep understanding of
the emotional weight caregivers carry. Nicole creates gentle, supportive spaces where people can pause, breathe, and reconnect with themselves.

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.

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.

Forest Bathing in Northern Arizona

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,

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.

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. Research supports the effectiveness of writing to reduce hypertension and increase immune system functioning as well as many other benefits.

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
