Healthcare workers’ 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, nacultivate contemplative practice in service to 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.

Who Are We?

We are a MD + RN team who are passionate about creating community spaces for connection & introspection for healthcare workers. Learn more about us here.

What People Are Saying

"When I first became a nurse, I had this hope and vision of finding a community of healthcare workers that I could reflect with on the spiritual meaning of our shared work. I had forgotten about this dream until recently when it occurred to me that it has been realized in all of you!"
"Participating in The Artist’s Way Bookclub for healthcare workers has felt like another homecoming. Introspective Spaces has fostered a safe, inclusive space for connection and community healing."
“It was really a lovely way to spend the morning, reflecting with like minded women, and exploring a more introspective, spiritual journey. Very rare to find spaces like this, especially in COVID, and I really am so grateful for this space and time.”
“I'm not sure what I was expecting when I first signed up but this was beyond what I was anticipating. I am excited to go to future events”
