Before the summer, we teamed up with Anna Hinze, a retired psychiatrist-psychotherapist and coach. Anna has organized circles around societally relevant themes before, and we felt a joint need to start thinking about the way our changing understanding of the role of consciousness in reality is affecting the way we think about and understand health and healthcare. The first circle was held in May 2025 and included Simone Ardesch of the Amsterdam School of Integrative Medicine & Health. We explored more holistic approaches to healthcare, in recognising more fully that mind and body are an interconnected system and that taking care of one entails taking care of the other.
