What are the benefits of a meditation practice? Meditation will begin to transform our unpeaceful, unhappy minds to peaceful, positive minds. In this meditation class we will use basic meditation skills to help us focus on love and compassion. Every Tuesday 12- 12:45 pm with Buddhist teacher Diane Ledger. Sponsored by Kadampa Meditation Center Phoenix.

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 8:30 am - 11:00 am 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.

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. 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.

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 8:30 am - 11:00 am 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.

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 8:30 am - 11:00 am 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.

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.

Led by a licensed clinician, this group is focused on increasing hope, empowerment, and community.

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 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.

Losing hair during cancer treatment can be an emotional challenge, but you don’t have to go through it alone. Wig Wednesday is a special program offering free, personalized wig consultations for individuals affected by cancer.

Appointments are available every Wednesday from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM. During your private appointment, our caring team will help you find a wig that makes you feel comfortable and confident.

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.

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.
