Who are we when we face a life altering illness such as cancer? How do we heal? This lecture unveils new knowledge to further integrate whole person health care approaches containing creativity, compassion, and capacity building in community by exploring the compassionate arts as a spiritual care technology that enables us to see within and understand patients’ lived experiences. Examining the meaning of health and illness through the compassionate arts can be

an invitation for patients to find meaning and purpose in life,

to remember who they are and how they are connected to communities, and the greater mystery of life.
