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. Although this class is in person, we still use Zoom as a registration tool, so please click the link below to register.

[IN-PERSON] Strum & Sing: Find Your Rhythm with Dave! Sponsored by Cancer Lifeline
2026-06-24 13:00 - 14:30 | [ONLINE] Cancer Lifeline
Join Dave, a retired music teacher and fellow cancer survivor, for a weekly get together that’s all about the healing power of a good song sung in good company—no stress involved!
This is NOT a how to play guitar or learn to sing class! Intermediate guitarists and beginners who know a few basic chords are all you need. When Dave was facing his own journey, his guitar and his voice were his best medicine—helping him find his spark when things felt heavy. Now, he’d like to share that magic with you! Whether you’re a shower-singer or a closet air-guitarist– no auditions, no “right notes,” and definitely no stress. Just good tunes, great company, and a chance to lighten the load through music. Patients, survivors and caregivers’ welcome. What to bring? Bring the lyrics and chords to two or three songs you enjoy singing.
