| Event Description |
The community is invited to collaborate in a playful expressive arts experience by creating and inserting flowers, butterflies, mushrooms, birds, whimsical creatures, etc., to a shared Garden of Compassion. Together, we'll symbolically dig our roots and draw nourishment—cultivating beauty, self-compassion, presence, and belonging—to support healing, as well as personal and professional journeys of patients, practitioners, and care providers as artists.
The Garden of Compassion will be showcased at National Symposium for Palliative Care at CSUSM in June 2026. Attendees will join in patients participating in Dr. Alessandra Colfi’s Expressive Arts program, fostering an integrated healing community rooted in compassion.
The completed Garden of Compassion will be displayed during the Symposium and available as a photobooth—becoming a collective tapestry that honors our shared journey of healing. |
