2026-01-20 11:00 - 12:30 | [ONLINE] Virginia Mason Franciscan Health
After the trauma of a cancer diagnosis, we naturally constrict our focus. The immediate is crucial and the future is scary. Eventually we need to stretch our imaginations again, and flex our hope muscles. Join us for discussion & writing exercises for reengaging with hopes & dreams, and embracing the wonder of imagining a new way forward.

Writing Series: Finding Your Secret Keys to Wellbeing Sponsored by EvergreenHealth

A key is something you carry within — your awareness, your choices, your self-compassion. It can unlock closed doors that keep you from your healthiest, happiest self. We each have those keys in our possession, but they might be hidden somewhere and we need to find them. Or maybe they’re right there, dangling from our key chains, but we haven’t used them for a while and need to wiggle them a little to get the lock to open.
Session 1: We’ll identify the doors that seem to lock us out.
Session 2: We’ll search for the keys to open them.
Session 3: We’ll explore how we can regularly practice using these keys as we continuously strive for holistic wellness.
