Twist Out Cancer Art Journal Club Twistshop Series
Session 1: Exploring Amazement of Mycelium
When : Thursday, Jan 29, 2026 06:30 PM CST / 7:30 EST
About this new series: Join Twist Out Cancer community and art therapist and facilitator, Mignon Dupepe for a new Twistshop Art Journal Club series starting in 2026! This series is inspired by author, Suleika Jaouad’s book The Book of Alchemy. We will use art making, journaling, and discussion to stir our creativity and connect around themes shared in her book. Suleika offers storytelling, writing prompts, and journaling for self- discovery and to spark imagination.
Our Twistshop series will provide a “twist” to this idea by including an art making component. The first Art Journal Club will highlight The Book of Alchemy’s storyteller, Fernando Murillo and his amazement of mycelium, the underground fungal network that sustains and enhances life. He proposes that we are not alone but we are mycelium, connected, a network that creates and sustains life and growth. We will explore this idea using art processes, zine making, journaling and discussion. No art or journaling experience required, just an interest in creating and connecting as a community.
