Cancer as Spiritual Teacher

About the Book
Cancer as Spiritual Teacher is a collection of poems about reclaiming and engaging our spirits during the cancer journey. It encourages the reader to view the cancer healing journey as a spiritual pilgrimage, much like pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain in search of spiritual insight and direction. The poems in this book speak to the inner (mind and spirit) and outer (body) dimensions of this journey. As pilgrims, the Camino requires our commitment to walk each day with openness, gentleness gratitude, and healing intention. Our cancer journeys require the same of us. About the Author
