Healthcare worker well-being is inextricably interconnected with patient outcomes
because we are all entangled together in a broken system.
What are we going to do about it?
INTROSPECTIVE SPACES
Welcome to our communities of care
We are healthcare workers taking care of one another.
Together, we navigate moral distress through soulful practices like art + ritual in communities of care. We also build inclusive community spaces to foster connection and cultivate contemplative practice in service of reimagining equity, sustainability and justice in healthcare.
Explore our site to find retreats, book clubs and online workshops tailored for healthcare professionals seeking to build a life of connection and reflection.

Our Offerings
2025 Giving Campaign
Our non-profit arm, Introspective Spaces Collaborative, is committed to ensuring every healthcare worker has access to free community spaces to grieve, celebrate and create in community.
These spaces make it possible for healthcare professionals across disciplines and geographies to come together, reclaiming their voices and their creative spirits.
Anu and Laura face the realities of being a completely volunteer-led organization and four years into this mission, are looking for ways to bring sustainability and a stable future. To sustain and grow this work, we need your support.
With an end-of-year goal of raising $10,000, your gift will help us build infrastructure, reserve facilitation time, offer scholarships, and strengthen the heart of what we do. Your gift is not simply a donation; it’s an investment in the collective care of those who keep our communities well.
