Welcome to the Survivorship Series!

We piloted this program about a month ago and it was so much fun.  The group grew together in community, we had a ton of fun with each of the sessions of the series, and the private facebook group was alive with activity!  With that experience in our pocket, we’re launching the next cohort of the Survivorship Series, this time specifically for those young adults facing metastatic cancer of any diagnosis.

Together, 25 young adults facing metastatic cancer will go through a 6-week, online program experience where you’ll hit the highlights of our workshops!  You’ll form a tight-knit community and every other week, you’ll take part in a different 2-hour program with the same group of young adults moving together through the series.

In week 1 you’ll join a Creative Art Workshop, in week 3 a Journaling Workshop, and in week 5 a Young Adult Cancer Hangout + Game Night.  In between workshops, you’ll have access to a private Facebook group for your cohort of 25 young adults where you can connect and communicate.  You may only take part in the series once, and when you sign up you are committing to taking part in all 6 weeks.

The next round of the Survivorship Series has been scheduled and starts on Tuesday, April 20! 

Week 1:  Tuesday, April 20 @ 4:30 pm PT / 6:30 pm CT / 7:30 pm ET – Creative Art Workshop (a very cool, cactus paper mosaic)
Week 3:  Tuesday, May 4 @ 4:30 pm PT / 6:30 pm CT / 7:30 pm ET – Journaling Workshop
Week 5:  Tuesday, May 18 @ 4:30 pm PT / 6:30 pm CT / 7:30 pm ET – Game Night

Grief to Gratitude: A Young Adult Cancer Yoga + Mindfulness Workshop

This 6-week program will normalize grief and help you tune-in and connect to your body, mind, and soul through yoga, breathwork, meditation, and other contemplative practices.  We will join together as a community to discuss, process, and move through grief to find our inner GPS and sense of self.  Together we will focus on life as it is now in the present moment, after a cancer diagnosis, compared to the life once imagined.

This workshop will have a 15 young adult cancer patient, survivor, and caregiver capacity, and will meet for 2 hours starting on Monday, March 22nd starting at 4:30 pm PT / 6:30 pm CT / 7:30 pm ET!  This is a 6-week program and a commitment to each week is important for a safe space and cohesiveness of the course.

The workshop will be interactive and equip you with the skills you need to turn your story into advocacy.

The program is open to young adult cancer patients, survivors, and caregivers and is scheduled for Tuesday, May 26th. 2:30-4:30 pm PT / 4:30-6:30 pm CT / 5:30-7:30 pm ET.
