Abstract

This article pays tribute to Warren Lett’s contribution as a leader and companion who engaged the creative arts in the search for meaning. The three authors worked with Warren in the group inquiry that led to The MIECAT Institute and its forms of inquiry. We explore memories of Warren’s own arts-based companioning through some of the methods he developed with us. And we also offer these image-led exchanges as an example of the kind of arts-based companioning Warren’s legacy gives us as a resource in present crises.
