Thriving Creatively

Thriving Creatively is a course that explores and connects the diversity of one’s emotional experience with cancer and provides a safe space to communicate thoughts and feelings in a supportive environment. It helps you go beyond simple medical diagnoses and treatment allowing you to take care of your whole body-mind-spirit by exploring four seasons that are connected to stages in cancer recovery: Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer.

 

Thriving Creatively is a course that evolves as you evolve in your cancer experience. And since life is about change, we are flexible enough to fit into that context of change.

 

The course guides you in ways that you can reconnect with your inner self and the humanity and world around you. It has been designed to help you through storytelling, reflection exercises that connect body mind spirit creativity, and movement.

 

Learn how to write about your experience in a creative way including what it is like going through the life cycle of cancer. There will be exercises for journaling, art-making, and movement designed to help you process your experience in a creative way that is meaningful.
