SUMMARY:GISTBe: A Mindfulness Series - Virtual
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a relaxing Mindfulness series while connecting with others in LRG’s GIST community during this virtual event. Mindfulness means maintaining a present-moment awareness of our thoughts\, feelings\, bodily sensations\, or surrounding environment. It helps cancer patients better manage symptoms of fatigue\, anxiety and fear of recurrence and their caregivers to practice self-compassion. The group will meet every week for 8 consecutive weeks starting Wednesday\, June 24th at 4pm EDT. During this 8 week module series\, we will cover the following: \nModule 1 – Introduction to Mindfulness \nModule 2- Breathwork Basics \nModule 3- Breathwork for Pain Management and Side Effects \nModule 4- Self Compassion and Compassion for Caregivers \nModule 5- Breathwork for Insomnia/ Stress and Anxiety \nModule 6- Mindful Eating \nModule 7- Mindfulness as a Way of Life \nModule 8- Tips and Q&A \nREGISTERAbout the Group Leader\nCarolina Ponce is a Mindfulness Coach\, Learning Specialist at a private school\, mother of one boy\, and a GIST patient (diagnosed in 2006).  Carolina started practicing Mindfulness when she was diagnosed with chronic anxiety after my diagnosis. As an educator\, Carolina realized that she had to share this amazing practice with her students\, friends and family. She decided to get certified as a coach and started training families \, teachers\, admin\, etc. Today\, Carolina teaches it to anyone who wants to learn more about “the art of being present”\, staying calm through hard times\, and preventing health issues. Through this journey\, she has realized that everyone can learn to practice Mindfulness and it can easily become a way of life.

SUMMARY:GISTRead/GISTWatch - Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:GISTWatch is a part of our virtual GISTEntertainment series\n(Updated 6-10-20) Our GISTEntertainment series continues with GIST Read and GIST Watch. We have combined these event to encourage more people to have time to read our selection\, The Hours by Michael Cunningham and to watch the film. Nicole Kidman won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Virginia Woolf.  During our event\, we will have an open discussion comparing the novel versus the film. \nSome of you may wonder why we chose such a serious book in a time in which such difficult things are happening in our world. We did ask our members to vote on the title\, and this was the book chosen. \nThe Hours is actually a perfect book for these times\, for although it deals with some difficult issues (Mental Illness\, serious illness\, restrictions on roles for women)\, above all\, it is a book about the elevation of ordinary things and the value of love in the midst of the difficult. In the midst of a pandemic and a world crying out for justice and equality\, it is those ordinary precious hours that define us. \nDuring this critical time we are asking you to partner with us. Our suggested donation for this event is $10. \nREGISTER for GIST Read/GIST Watch
