Ames Writers CollectiveAmes Writers Collective
Writing Circle Mondays are open to cancer patients and cancer survivors who have completed treatments and who are served by the John Stoddard Cancer Center.
Each evening during this 8-week session, a safe space is created to write and respond to each other’s writing. Stories and/or poems are inspired by writing prompts. Sharing stories with the group is healing on many levels.
“I’ve come to regard Writing Through Cancer writing circles as an integral part of my cancer treatment. As much as I appreciate the efforts of my medical team and support from family and friends, I still feel an “aloneness” in this journey. Writing Through Cancer writing circles has proved a convenient opportunity to air my worries, concerns, hopes and fears that only another cancer patient can truly fathom. It is a safe space to share insights, tears, and laughter.” – NJ
These writing sessions are held on Zoom to enable individuals to write from the comfort of their home. A reminder and Zoom link will be sent prior to each session.
We will meet on:
Oct 9, 23, & 30. Nov 13, 20, & 27. Dec 11 & 18.
This program is sponsored by John Stoddard Cancer Center as part of the Charlie Cutler Healing and Wellness Program
