A short (14 minute) practice to breathe, move start your day off.
Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade or Eight Skilken Movements) is one of the most common forms of Tai Chi exercise that serves to improve human health. A complete Baduanjin includes eight separate exercises, each addressing a different physical area and
qi meridian. In traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians support the flow of qi and other fundamental substances in the body.
There are both standing and seated versions of Baduanjin in history, but the standing version is more popular among modern practitioners. Studies show that practicing Baduanjin regularly is beneficial for quality of life, sleep quality, balance, handgrip
strength, trunk flexibility, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and resting heart rate.

THIS WORKSHOP IS OPEN TO ALL INTERESTED PARTICIPANTS!

for yourself or you are not able to communicate your preferences. By planning ahead, you can find comfort that your current and future care preferences are in writing and will guide your loved ones so they will not have the burden of guessing what
you would want during if you could not speak for yourself about medical decisions. Learn more about how you can make your own health care decisions through written and verbal communication with your medical team and family.

Art Journaling

Tuesday, April 6, 2021 @ 2pm-3pm CDT via Zoom
Description:
In this class we'll explore journaling with art. What does this mean? It can be as simple as documenting each day’s activities with art, doodling feelings, or creating pages that respond to the larger events of your life - cancer, COVID, family or friends,
etc. It can be light, deep, sweet, funny, beautiful-the mission is to make a regular, creative practice of sharing and honoring yourself and your life.
We'll start with an exercise as we open up our minds and hearts, and warm up our hands for movement. Next we'll have prompts that you can visually answer with whatever materials you have in your spaces - collage, painting, drawing, stickers, etc.
This is an intentionally welcoming creative space, where there are no wrong answers, and any expression of creativity is wonderful.
What You'll Need:
- - Bring whatever art materials or medium you have on hand. Paper and pen, paint, markers, or anything else you'd like to use.

Cooking Class: Homemade Stocks And Broths
Time
11:00 AM
Location
Virtual - assigned links
Friday, April 9, 2021 @ 11am CDT via Zoom
Description:
Join this online cooking class where Chef Michael Solovey will teach us how to make homemade stocks and broths. You can follow along and cook during class, or just observe as a lecture.
What You'll Need:
- - Ingredients & Prep: If you’ll be cooking this dish along with the chef during class: Read through the Recipe Packet (PDF), purchase any ingredients
you need, and complete the prep work before class begins.
About Chef Michael Solovey:
Chef Michael Solovey started cooking at a young age under the tutelage of his Mother, a refined, self-taught
culinarian. He would later graduate magna cum laude from Le Cordon Bleu at Scottsdale Culinary Institute before moving to Shanghai, China in 2008. Over the course of five years working in the food and beverage industry in Asia, Chef Michael played
various roles in opening 24 food and beverage establishments including his very own Eastern European inspired restaurant, Bloc.
In the past seven years, Michael has served as Resident Chef for Sur La Table and Chef/Cooking School Director for The Boelter Companies in Glendale, Wisconsin. He is now the owner of Sage Harvest Cooking School.
He has taught over 1,700 classes to over 10,000 students. His pedagogy implements approachable science to help his students understand why different cooking techniques render a variety of results in the kitchen; all for the sake of developing students'
culinary instinct. Although Chef Michael personally writes and curates all of the recipes used in his classes, his approach is decidedly anti-recipe as his aim is to empower everyone from the novice foodie to the seasoned industry professional to
take confident control of their diet, health, and wellness by cooking amazing food.
This program is made possible, in part, by a grant from The McKesson Foundation.

9:00 AM
Location
ZOOM
Description:
Have you or someone you love experienced cancer? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed with either your own health issues or another person's as their caregiver? Do you believe in the power of story and its healing ability? Narrative medicine can empower people to speak and write their truth. Through the experience of being vulnerable and sharing your own story, you may find a common bond with others.
What You'll Need:
- Pens, pencils, or whatever writing tool you like
- Paper/journal
- Laptop/tablet if you prefer to type
About the Facilitator:
Jamie Steckelberg is a ten-year cancer survivor and Gilda’s Club member. She also was a caregiver for both parents Bob and Elma during their cancer journeys. During chemotherapy while perusing the books at Gilda’s, she encountered a book entitled When Words Heal by Sharon Bray on how to create and facilitate writing groups using the Amherst Writer and Artist method. Within months after chemo had ended, she became an Amherst Writer and Artist facilitator of Write to Heal, a writing group for cancer survivors and caregivers at Gilda’s Club in Middleton, WI. Her daughter Josie has been an integral part of Jamie’s healing not only through shaving her own head but also by painting and pouring mud on her mother’s head. A poet and English Instructor at Madison College, Jamie also enjoys thrifting and creating art with Josie.

Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade or Eight Skilken Movements) is one of the most common forms of Tai Chi exercise that serves to improve human health. A complete Baduanjin includes eight separate exercises, each addressing a different physical area and
qi meridian. In traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians support the flow of qi and other fundamental substances in the body.
There are both standing and seated versions of Baduanjin in history, but the standing version is more popular among modern practitioners. Studies show that practicing Baduanjin regularly is beneficial for quality of life, sleep quality, balance, handgrip
strength, trunk flexibility, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and resting heart rate.

Cooking Class: African Sweet Potato Soup

Thursday, April 15, 2021 @ 6pm CDT via Zoom
Description:
Join this online cooking class where Chef Michael Solovey will teach us how to make West African sweet potato soup. You can follow along and cook during class, or just observe as a lecture.
What You'll Need:
- - Ingredients & Prep: If you’ll be cooking this dish along with the chef during class: Read through the Recipe Packet (PDF), purchase any ingredients
you need, and complete the prep work before class begins.
About Chef Michael Solovey:
Chef Michael Solovey started cooking at a young age under the tutelage of his Mother, a refined, self-taught
culinarian. He would later graduate magna cum laude from Le Cordon Bleu at Scottsdale Culinary Institute before moving to Shanghai, China in 2008. Over the course of five years working in the food and beverage industry in Asia, Chef Michael played
various roles in opening 24 food and beverage establishments including his very own Eastern European inspired restaurant, Bloc.
In the past seven years, Michael has served as Resident Chef for Sur La Table and Chef/Cooking School Director for The Boelter Companies in Glendale, Wisconsin. He is now the owner of Sage Harvest Cooking School.
He has taught over 1,700 classes to over 10,000 students. His pedagogy implements approachable science to help his students understand why different cooking techniques render a variety of results in the kitchen; all for the sake of developing students'
culinary instinct. Although Chef Michael personally writes and curates all of the recipes used in his classes, his approach is decidedly anti-recipe as his aim is to empower everyone from the novice foodie to the seasoned industry professional to
take confident control of their diet, health, and wellness by cooking amazing food.

Art Journaling
Time
2:00 PM
Location
Virtual - assigned links
Tuesday, April 20, 2021 @ 2pm-3pm CDT via Zoom
Description:
In this class we'll explore journaling with art. What does this mean? It can be as simple as documenting each day’s activities with art, doodling feelings, or creating pages that respond to the larger events of your life - cancer, COVID, family or friends,
etc. It can be light, deep, sweet, funny, beautiful-the mission is to make a regular, creative practice of sharing and honoring yourself and your life.
We'll start with an exercise as we open up our minds and hearts, and warm up our hands for movement. Next we'll have prompts that you can visually answer with whatever materials you have in your spaces - collage, painting, drawing, stickers, etc.
This is an intentionally welcoming creative space, where there are no wrong answers, and any expression of creativity is wonderful.
What You'll Need:
- - Bring whatever art materials or medium you have on hand. Paper and pen, paint, markers, or anything else you'd like to use.

A short (14 minute) practice to breathe, move start your day off.
Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade or Eight Skilken Movements) is one of the most common forms of Tai Chi exercise that serves to improve human health. A complete Baduanjin includes eight separate exercises, each addressing a different physical area and
qi meridian. In traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians support the flow of qi and other fundamental substances in the body.
There are both standing and seated versions of Baduanjin in history, but the standing version is more popular among modern practitioners. Studies show that practicing Baduanjin regularly is beneficial for quality of life, sleep quality, balance, handgrip
strength, trunk flexibility, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and resting heart rate.

Description:
Join this online cooking class where Chef Michael Solovey will teach us how to make Thai lettuce wraps. You can follow along and cook during class, or just observe as a lecture.
What You'll Need:
- - Ingredients & Prep: If you’ll be cooking this dish along with the chef during class: Read through the Recipe Packet (PDF), purchase any ingredients
you need, and complete the prep work before class begins.
About Chef Michael Solovey:
Chef Michael Solovey started cooking at a young age under the tutelage of his Mother, a refined, self-taught
culinarian. He would later graduate magna cum laude from Le Cordon Bleu at Scottsdale Culinary Institute before moving to Shanghai, China in 2008. Over the course of five years working in the food and beverage industry in Asia, Chef Michael played
various roles in opening 24 food and beverage establishments including his very own Eastern European inspired restaurant, Bloc.
In the past seven years, Michael has served as Resident Chef for Sur La Table and Chef/Cooking School Director for The Boelter Companies in Glendale, Wisconsin. He is now the owner of Sage Harvest Cooking School.
He has taught over 1,700 classes to over 10,000 students. His pedagogy implements approachable science to help his students understand why different cooking techniques render a variety of results in the kitchen; all for the sake of developing students'
culinary instinct. Although Chef Michael personally writes and curates all of the recipes used in his classes, his approach is decidedly anti-recipe as his aim is to empower everyone from the novice foodie to the seasoned industry professional to
take confident control of their diet, health, and wellness by cooking amazing food.

Have you or someone you love experienced cancer? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed with either your own health issues or another person's as their caregiver?

About the Facilitator:
Jamie Steckelberg is a ten-year cancer survivor and Gilda’s Club member. She also was a caregiver for both parents Bob and Elma during their cancer journeys. During chemotherapy while perusing the books at Gilda’s, she encountered a book entitled When Words Heal by Sharon Bray on how to create and facilitate writing groups using the Amherst Writer and Artist method. Within months after chemo had ended, she became an Amherst Writer and Artist facilitator of Write to Heal, a writing group for cancer survivors and caregivers at Gilda’s Club in Middleton, WI. Her daughter Josie has been an integral part of Jamie’s healing not only through shaving her own head but also by painting and pouring mud on her mother’s head. A poet and English Instructor at Madison College, Jamie also enjoys thrifting and creating art with Josie.

Tuesday, May 11, 2021 @ 2pm-3pm CDT via Zoom
Description:
In this class we'll explore journaling with art. What does this mean? It can be as simple as documenting each day’s activities with art, doodling feelings, or creating pages that respond to the larger events of your life - cancer, COVID, family or friends,
etc. It can be light, deep, sweet, funny, beautiful-the mission is to make a regular, creative practice of sharing and honoring yourself and your life.
We'll start with an exercise as we open up our minds and hearts, and warm up our hands for movement. Next we'll have prompts that you can visually answer with whatever materials you have in your spaces - collage, painting, drawing, stickers, etc.
This is an intentionally welcoming creative space, where there are no wrong answers, and any expression of creativity is wonderful.
What You'll Need:
- - Bring whatever art materials or medium you have on hand. Paper and pen, paint, markers, or anything else you'd like to use.

A short (14 minute) practice to breathe, move start your day off.
Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade or Eight Skilken Movements) is one of the most common forms of Tai Chi exercise that serves to improve human health. A complete Baduanjin includes eight separate exercises, each addressing a different physical area and
qi meridian. In traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians support the flow of qi and other fundamental substances in the body.
There are both standing and seated versions of Baduanjin in history, but the standing version is more popular among modern practitioners. Studies show that practicing Baduanjin regularly is beneficial for quality of life, sleep quality, balance, handgrip
strength, trunk flexibility, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and resting heart rate.

Cooking Class: Vegetable Stir Fry for Noodles or Rice
Time
6:00 PM
Location
Virtual - assigned links
Monday, May 17, 2021 @ 6pm CDT via Zoom
Description:
Join this online cooking class where Chef Michael Solovey will teach us how to make a vegetable stir fry for noodles or rice. You can follow along and cook during class, or just observe as a lecture.
What You'll Need:
- - Ingredients & Prep: If you’ll be cooking this dish along with the chef during class: Read through the Recipe Packet (PDF), purchase any ingredients
you need, and complete the prep work before class begins.
About Chef Michael Solovey:
Chef Michael Solovey started cooking at a young age under the tutelage of his Mother, a refined, self-taught
culinarian. He would later graduate magna cum laude from Le Cordon Bleu at Scottsdale Culinary Institute before moving to Shanghai, China in 2008. Over the course of five years working in the food and beverage industry in Asia, Chef Michael played
various roles in opening 24 food and beverage establishments including his very own Eastern European inspired restaurant, Bloc.
In the past seven years, Michael has served as Resident Chef for Sur La Table and Chef/Cooking School Director for The Boelter Companies in Glendale, Wisconsin. He is now the owner of Sage Harvest Cooking School.
He has taught over 1,700 classes to over 10,000 students. His pedagogy implements approachable science to help his students understand why different cooking techniques render a variety of results in the kitchen; all for the sake of developing students'
culinary instinct. Although Chef Michael personally writes and curates all of the recipes used in his classes, his approach is decidedly anti-recipe as his aim is to empower everyone from the novice foodie to the seasoned industry professional to
take confident control of their diet, health, and wellness by cooking amazing food.
This program is made possible, in part, by a grant from The McKesson Foundation.

will be an opportunity to learn more about the programs offered by Camp Kesem and Gilda's Club Madison, both of which offer free support to your family during a cancer diagnosis.

Art Journaling
Time
2:00 PM
Location
Virtual - assigned links
Tuesday, May 25, 2021 @ 2pm-3pm CDT via Zoom
Description:
In this class we'll explore journaling with art. What does this mean? It can be as simple as documenting each day’s activities with art, doodling feelings, or creating pages that respond to the larger events of your life - cancer, COVID, family or friends,
etc. It can be light, deep, sweet, funny, beautiful-the mission is to make a regular, creative practice of sharing and honoring yourself and your life.
We'll start with an exercise as we open up our minds and hearts, and warm up our hands for movement. Next we'll have prompts that you can visually answer with whatever materials you have in your spaces - collage, painting, drawing, stickers, etc.
This is an intentionally welcoming creative space, where there are no wrong answers, and any expression of creativity is wonderful.
What You'll Need:
- - Bring whatever art materials or medium you have on hand. Paper and pen, paint, markers, or anything else you'd like to use.

Zoom
THIS WORKSHOP IS OPEN TO ALL INTERESTED PARTICIPANTS!
Make you own health care decisions. Advance care planning is one of the best gifts you can give to yourself and to your loved ones. It takes courage to plan ahead and think about a time in the future when you may not be able to make healthcare decisions
for yourself or you are not able to communicate your preferences. By planning ahead, you can find comfort that your current and future care preferences are in writing and will guide your loved ones so they will not have the burden of guessing what
you would want during if you could not speak for yourself about medical decisions. Learn more about how you can make your own health care decisions through written and verbal communication with your medical team and family.

How to Access the Heart of Your Inner Wisdom PUBLIC
Time
6:00 PM
Location
Zoom
Thursdays, June 3rd AND June 10th @ 6pm via Zoom(plan to attend both sessions)
De-Stress and Make Decisions Right for You. Taught by Annie Notestein, Inner Peace And Purpose, LLC- Life Coach.
Judging and criticizing yourself can result in feeling stressed. This habit can also make it harder to know if you are making decisions that are truly right for you.
People who are sensitive to what others say are often highly skilled at tuning into other people. Yet, they often forget to listen in to themselves. This habit can result in not knowing what you want and feeling stressed with your self-esteem hurting.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:
- Recognize the imposters of your inner wisdom that keep you feeling stressed and second-guessing your decisions.
- Recognize and listen to your inner wisdom to make decisions that you know, deep down, are right for you.
- This practice can reduce your stress and boost self-compassion, peace of mind, self-esteem, and confidence.
Zoom access is provided by our Technology Sponsors, the Wisconsin Cancer Collaborative and UW Carbone Cancer Center.

Tai Chi

A short (14 minute) practice to breathe, move start your day off.
Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade or Eight Skilken Movements) is one of the most common forms of Tai Chi exercise that serves to improve human health. A complete Baduanjin includes eight separate exercises, each addressing a different physical area and
qi meridian. In traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians support the flow of qi and other fundamental substances in the body.
There are both standing and seated versions of Baduanjin in history, but the standing version is more popular among modern practitioners. Studies show that practicing Baduanjin regularly is beneficial for quality of life, sleep quality, balance, handgrip
strength, trunk flexibility, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and resting heart rate.

9:00 AM

Description:
Have you or someone you love experienced cancer? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed with either your own health issues or another person's as their caregiver? Do you believe in the power of story and its healing ability? Narrative medicine can empower people to speak and write their truth. Through the experience of being vulnerable and sharing your own story, you may find a common bond with others.
What You'll Need:
- Pens, pencils, or whatever writing tool you like
- Paper/journal
- Laptop/tablet if you prefer to type
About the Facilitator:
Jamie Steckelberg is a ten-year cancer survivor and Gilda’s Club member. She also was a caregiver for both parents Bob and Elma during their cancer journeys. During chemotherapy while perusing the books at Gilda’s, she encountered a book entitled When Words Heal by Sharon Bray on how to create and facilitate writing groups using the Amherst Writer and Artist method. Within months after chemo had ended, she became an Amherst Writer and Artist facilitator of Write to Heal, a writing group for cancer survivors and caregivers at Gilda’s Club in Middleton, WI. Her daughter Josie has been an integral part of Jamie’s healing not only through shaving her own head but also by painting and pouring mud on her mother’s head. A poet and English Instructor at Madison College, Jamie also enjoys thrifting and creating art with Josie.

Art Journaling
Time
2:00 PM
Location
Virtual - assigned links
Tuesday, June 15, 2021 @ 2pm-3pm CDT via Zoom
Description:
In this class we'll explore journaling with art. What does this mean? It can be as simple as documenting each day’s activities with art, doodling feelings, or creating pages that respond to the larger events of your life - cancer, COVID, family or friends,
etc. It can be light, deep, sweet, funny, beautiful-the mission is to make a regular, creative practice of sharing and honoring yourself and your life.
We'll start with an exercise as we open up our minds and hearts, and warm up our hands for movement. Next we'll have prompts that you can visually answer with whatever materials you have in your spaces - collage, painting, drawing, stickers, etc.
This is an intentionally welcoming creative space, where there are no wrong answers, and any expression of creativity is wonderful.
What You'll Need:
- - Bring whatever art materials or medium you have on hand. Paper and pen, paint, markers, or anything else you'd like to use.
About Mallory Shotwell:
Mallory Shotwell is an interdisciplinary artist and arts educator. In her art practice, she works
with storytelling/interview, audio, photography, and video to share stories based on a theme. She majored in English at Aquinas College in Michigan, and later French and Elementary Education at Edgewood College in Madison. She worked as a public school
teacher in Michigan and as a Montessori teacher in Madison. In her teaching practice, she utilizes multiple learning styles to serve and respect people's needs.

Cooking Class: Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad
Time

Location

Wednesday, June 16, 2021 @ 6pm CDT via Zoom
Description:
Join this online cooking class where Chef Michael Solovey will teach us how to make a grilled chicken caesar salad. You can follow along and cook during class, or just observe as a lecture.
What You'll Need:
- - Ingredients & Prep: If you’ll be cooking this dish along with the chef during class: Read through the Recipe Packet (PDF),
purchase any ingredients you need, and complete the prep work before class begins.
About Chef Michael Solovey:
Chef Michael Solovey started cooking at a young age under the tutelage of his Mother, a refined, self-taught
culinarian. He would later graduate magna cum laude from Le Cordon Bleu at Scottsdale Culinary Institute before moving to Shanghai, China in 2008. Over the course of five years working in the food and beverage industry in Asia, Chef Michael played
various roles in opening 24 food and beverage establishments including his very own Eastern European inspired restaurant, Bloc.
In the past seven years, Michael has served as Resident Chef for Sur La Table and Chef/Cooking School Director for The Boelter Companies in Glendale, Wisconsin. He is now the owner of Sage Harvest Cooking School.
He has taught over 1,700 classes to over 10,000 students. His pedagogy implements approachable science to help his students understand why different cooking techniques render a variety of results in the kitchen; all for the sake of developing students'
culinary instinct. Although Chef Michael personally writes and curates all of the recipes used in his classes, his approach is decidedly anti-recipe as his aim is to empower everyone from the novice foodie to the seasoned industry professional to
take confident control of their diet, health, and wellness by cooking amazing food.
This program is made possible, in part, by a grant from The McKesson Foundation.

Tai Chi
Time
9:00 AM
Location
Zoom
A short (14 minute) practice to breathe, move start your day off.
Baduanjin (Eight Pieces of Brocade or Eight Skilken Movements) is one of the most common forms of Tai Chi exercise that serves to improve human health. A complete Baduanjin includes eight separate exercises, each addressing a different physical area and
qi meridian. In traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians support the flow of qi and other fundamental substances in the body.
There are both standing and seated versions of Baduanjin in history, but the standing version is more popular among modern practitioners. Studies show that practicing Baduanjin regularly is beneficial for quality of life, sleep quality, balance, handgrip
strength, trunk flexibility, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and resting heart rate.

Join this online cooking class where Chef Michael Solovey will teach us how to make a mango lassi and golden milk.You can follow along and cook during class, or just observe as a lecture.
What You'll Need:
- - Ingredients & Prep: If you’ll be cooking this dish along with the chef during class: Read through the Recipe Packet (PDF), purchase any ingredients
you need, and complete the prep work before class begins.
About Chef Michael Solovey:
Chef Michael Solovey started cooking at a young age under the tutelage of his Mother, a refined, self-taught
culinarian. He would later graduate magna cum laude from Le Cordon Bleu at Scottsdale Culinary Institute before moving to Shanghai, China in 2008. Over the course of five years working in the food and beverage industry in Asia, Chef Michael played
various roles in opening 24 food and beverage establishments including his very own Eastern European inspired restaurant, Bloc.
In the past seven years, Michael has served as Resident Chef for Sur La Table and Chef/Cooking School Director for The Boelter Companies in Glendale, Wisconsin. He is now the owner of Sage Harvest Cooking School.
He has taught over 1,700 classes to over 10,000 students. His pedagogy implements approachable science to help his students understand why different cooking techniques render a variety of results in the kitchen; all for the sake of developing students'
culinary instinct. Although Chef Michael personally writes and curates all of the recipes used in his classes, his approach is decidedly anti-recipe as his aim is to empower everyone from the novice foodie to the seasoned industry professional to
take confident control of their diet, health, and wellness by cooking amazing food.

Art Journaling
Time
2:00 PM
Location
Virtual - assigned links
Tuesday, June 29, 2021 @ 2pm-3pm CDT via Zoom
Description:
In this class we'll explore journaling with art. What does this mean? It can be as simple as documenting each day’s activities with art, doodling feelings, or creating pages that respond to the larger events of your life - cancer, COVID, family or friends,
etc. It can be light, deep, sweet, funny, beautiful-the mission is to make a regular, creative practice of sharing and honoring yourself and your life.
We'll start with an exercise as we open up our minds and hearts, and warm up our hands for movement. Next we'll have prompts that you can visually answer with whatever materials you have in your spaces - collage, painting, drawing, stickers, etc.
This is an intentionally welcoming creative space, where there are no wrong answers, and any expression of creativity is wonderful.
What You'll Need:
- - Bring whatever art materials or medium you have on hand. Paper and pen, paint, markers, or anything else you'd like to use.
