\t\t\t\tHistory and Mission of Twist Out Cancer<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Twist Out Cancer is an international, non-profit charitable organization that provides psychosocial support to individuals touched by cancer<\/strong> through creative arts programming. The organization was founded on the principle that when you share, the world opens up.<\/p>\n

After surviving Grey Zone Lymphoma in 2011, Jenna Benn Shersher, Founder and Executive Director, saw firsthand how people with cancer have a unique set of needs that are not being addressed or talked about. She found that one way of fulfilling this need is through creative arts, which could be used as a mechanism for coping and healing.<\/p>\n

What started in 2012 as a small art exhibition in Chicago for 20 Inspirations and Artists has now become an international program that has touched over 40,000 people around the world.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\t\t\t\tTWISTSHOP PROGRAM<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t

\n\t\t\t

The Twistshop program began as in person art therapy-focused workshops that promote healing, relaxation, and emotional\u00a0recovery through creative arts based interventions. In the midst of the stay at home order, we pivoted to run our programs completely virtual for individuals touched by cancer and the larger public that may be feeling isolated and lonely during this unprecedented time. We have been fortunate to offer our programming internationally through the virtual format<\/p>\n

We welcome individuals who have been touched by cancer to engage in creative and expressive therapy based workshops that focus on utilizing the arts and wellness as a mechanism for healing.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned as we have an exciting calendar filled with art therapy, yoga, meditation, sound healing, and much more!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
