Join us for a June Walk'nTalk in Geneva 🌿

There is something special about Geneva in June. The trees are lush and green, the flowers are in bloom, and the whole city seems to come alive.

This month, we would love you to join us for our Geneva Walk'nTalk as we head to Bout du Monde, Vessy, a beautiful pocket of nature on the edge of the city. It is the perfect setting for some fresh air, gentle movement and good conversation.

Our walk will last around 60 minutes and is designed to be relaxed and enjoyable. There is no rush, no pressure and no need to keep pace with anyone else. Just a chance to get outdoors, connect with others and enjoy the simple pleasure of walking together.

The Geneva Walk'nTalk is open to everyone in the Cancer Support Switzerland community, including members, volunteers, staff, family and friends.

📅 Thursday 11 June 2026
🕙 Meet at 10:00
🚗 Parking available in front of the Sport Centre complex
🚌 Bus lines 7 and 11, stop Bout du Monde

Before you set off, please remember comfortable walking shoes, a waterproof layer, a hat, sunscreen, an umbrella and a bottle of water. Geneva weather likes to keep us guessing! ☀️🌦️

If you would like to bring your four-legged friend, dogs are very welcome too, provided they are kept on a lead. 🐕

We look forward to spending a lovely morning walking and chatting with you.

When words run out, the hands remember.

There is a particular kind of silence that comes with a cancer diagnosis. The silence of not knowing how to say what you feel. Not to your doctor. Not to your family. Not even to yourself.

Maybe that is where you are right now.

Once a month, a small group of people touched by cancer gathers around a table. Some are patients. Some are caregivers. Some have not picked up a paintbrush since school. They paint, draw, work with clay and pastels, and sit quietly alongside one another.

And something shifts.

When you are focused on colour and shape and texture, the fear softens for a little while. Being in a room with people who truly understand, without having to explain yourself, is its own kind of relief.
