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.

 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.

 *National Cancer Survivors Day® is an annual worldwide Celebration of Life that is held in hundreds of communities throughout the United States and other participating countries. It is a day to recognize that life after a cancer diagnosis can be a reality and to recognize the valuable support and care given to patients with cancer by families, friends, researchers and healthcare providers.
