Our next session of STEEP with is coming!

Tuesday, August 5th from 7:00 - 8:30pm ET
Topic: LONELINESS

This clinician-led monthly program offers a safe space to acknowledge the emotions that we often think we “shouldn’t” feel or don’t want to feel.

This month we’ll be talking about loneliness and how isolating a cancer diagnosis as a young adult can be. Sit with others and explore the ways you may have felt alone while also experiencing the support and connection of those who “get it.”

Join Lisa Orr, Brand Director, and Wildfire Magazine () for a pop-up writing workshop to companion the upcoming issue of Wildfire Journal on the theme of Metamorphosis. This issue (due out December 2025/January 2026) will be co-edited by Lisa.

Change doesn’t always arrive with clarity. Sometimes, it shows up as unraveling. As grief. As something you resist at first—before discovering what’s been quietly evolving underneath, and the new superpower within.

In this 90-minute writing workshop, we’ll explore the emotional terrain of transformation—from the moment your diagnosis shifted everything, to the ways you’ve been quietly remade since.

Whether you’re preparing to submit a piece or simply feeling the stirrings of change within yourself, this is a space to explore what it means to evolve in the wake of illness.

We’ll use expressive writing prompts, reflection, and optional sharing to access the deeper truths that live in our bodies, memories, and daily lives.

This workshop is for you if:

You’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer in your 20s, 30s, or 40s

You want to write but need a little structure and support

You’re looking for community that understands the emotional terrain of survivorship

You don’t need to write well. You just need to show up honestly. Register at the link in our bio!
