by popular demand – the Food for Life nutrition and cooking classes
will begin again in May. The
program series is co-sponsored by Cornucopia House Cancer Support
Center and the Physicians’ Committee for Responsible Medicine’s
Cancer Project. The goal of the program is
to empower cancer survivors, their friends, and their family members
to learn cooking skills that turn every meal into an easy and
delicious dose of healthy nutrition and to help advance understanding
of the healing power of food. Local

up on low-fat foods, favor fiber, replace meat and dairy, and plan
healthy meals. For more information:www.pcrm.org or ww.cancerproject.org

Sunday, June 4th, 2-5pm

Call 401-9333 to reserve a space
In celebration of Cornucopia House's 10th
year anniversary and National Cancer Survivors Day*, we are
offering a fun hands on program. This workshop has few rules.
Anyone can participate! No
art experience necessary. We are inviting cancer survivors,
family members, friends and others to honor their “journey”,
to reveal the essence of their cancer experiences. through words and
images: drawing, painting, collaging, poetry, photographs, mandalas,
symbols, or anything that signifies what living means to you. You can
take this time to express your journey through words and images, to
honor your heroes, or to just let creativity flow. Artmaking can be an
affirmation of self and life, when life itself is a challenge and the
process can be a way of connecting the dots, or gleaning bits of
wisdom from others who have been on a similar journey. (Some themes to
consider: cancer journey, responsibility to self and community,
getting beyond the diagnosis, cancer lessons-cancer gifts, the
strength of our stories, being connected, prospering through cancer,
pain is more than a word, survival is an attitude, spirituality and
cancer, specific cancer issues and understanding our ways)
Selected works will be photographed and
used to create note cards for Cornucopia House to be used for
fundraising projects in the future.
If you are interested in participating in the note card project
and have artwork that you have created earlier, bring that in too.
Come and join in the fun, Sunday afternoon on June 4th,from 2-5pm.
Bring your own supplies, some provided.
