📚✨ FOR YOUNG ADULTS FACING GLIOMA: YOUR STORY STARTS HERE ✨📚
Ready for a four-week creative adventure that makes space to express yourself, be heard, find your people, and help shape the future of glioma care? Buckle up! This isn’t your average book club.
🎨 Welcome to the Creative Arts Book Club Discussion Series: where you are the author, illustrator, and hero of your own story. Together, we’ll explore how creativity can be both a calming force and a mighty tool for processing the twists, turns, and plotlines of life during and after cancer.
🖌️ Each week, we’ll gather online for two hours of creative connection. You’ll be journaling, doodling, sketching, and sprinkling your own brand of artsy magic as we work through Out of Your Mind: A Journal and Coloring Book to Distract Your Anxious Mind by Dani DiPirro. With over 100 playful prompts at your fingertips, this series is all about getting out of your head, into the flow, and making space for joy, creativity, and the occasional “aha” moment.
💬 During the last 30 minutes of each session, you’ll join a compensated focus group, sharing your real experiences living with glioma to help shape the future of care and support for young adults just like you.
🌀 Whether you’re armed with a journal, a sketchbook, or just a curious mind, this series is your invitation to slow down, speak up, and create something uniquely yours, in a community that truly gets it.
