SUMMARY:Writing Circle Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION:Writing Circle Wednesdays are for individuals who are currently receiving or who have completed cancer treatments.\nThese sessions meet on Zoom from 3 to 5 PM CT.\nAnyone interested may join at any time. \nLiving with cancer is a lonely journey. Only those who have been or are on that same journey truly understand the emotions\, fears and challenges we face each day. I was hoping to gain some insight into how others coped with their diagnosis. I not only gained that\, but also came to understand more fully my own reactions to my personal cancer story. This was a valuable experience for me. I don’t feel quite as alone as I did. —A Past Participant \nThese sessions are led by Ana McCracken\, founder of the Ames Writers Collective and held in partnership with the William R. Bliss Cancer Center located in Ames\, Iowa. Registration is free and required. Contact Ana for questions and to register.

SUMMARY:Writing Circle Wednesdays
DESCRIPTION:Writing Circle Wednesdays are for individuals who are currently receiving or who have completed cancer treatments.\nThese sessions meet on Zoom from 3 to 5 PM CT.\nAnyone interested may join at any time. \nLiving with cancer is a lonely journey. Only those who have been or are on that same journey truly understand the emotions\, fears and challenges we face each day. I was hoping to gain some insight into how others coped with their diagnosis. I not only gained that\, but also came to understand more fully my own reactions to my personal cancer story. This was a valuable experience for me. I don’t feel quite as alone as I did. —A Past Participant \nThese sessions are led by Ana McCracken\, founder of the Ames Writers Collective. Registration is free and required. Contact Ana for questions and to register.

SUMMARY:John Stoddard Cancer Center | Writing Through Cancer
DESCRIPTION: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. \nEach 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. \n\n\n\n\n“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 \nThese 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. \nWe will meet on:\nOct 9\, 23\, & 30. Nov 13\, 20\, & 27. Dec 11 & 18. \nThis program is sponsored by John Stoddard Cancer Center as part of the Charlie Cutler Healing and Wellness Program
