          Launched on September 19, 2025, with Joan Tronto, Liora Bresler, Inge van Nistelrooij, and Merel Visse.


        
              A non-profit collective for and with everyone involved with care, including ethicists, professionals, artists, researchers, policymakers, administrators, designers, leaders, future thinkers, and practice changers. A response to the turbulent society and the (geopolitical) climate that is now permeating everyday lives, including at work. This doesn't leave us indifferent. We have each other, and we need ethics and creativity even more than ever.

Navigating complex ethical challenges with artistry, thoughtfulness, and wisdom


In this hybrid collective, we learn how to navigate complex, real-life professional experiences with thoughtfulness, artistry, and wisdom. We meet several times a year to engage in “moral studio-labs” at selected locations, with ongoing flexible access to virtual spaces for discussion, creation, and reflection, nourished by a network of peers and experts.

Join our collective where passionate people come together to co-create something greater than ourselves. If you're ready to be part of a community that values care, mutual support, and collective action, we'd love to have you join us. 

We’re sharing and connecting decades of experience with practice transformations through the intriguing nexus of ethics, care, and the arts. We’re considering activities such as:

Dynamic Case Analysis — We’ll engage with realistic scenarios where we take on active roles. We reflect on the meaning of your decisions through detailed feedback and creative assignments with tangible results.

Observe and Deliberate through Narrative — We immerse ourselves in challenging situations as they unfold, providing feedback on our approach at critical moments. Compare our insights with those of experts and peers to open our perspectives and see different paths.

Test and Use our Intuition — We observe situations and respond intuitively to key questions. Share our perspectives at pivotal moments and connect with bodily, lived forms of knowing. Our intuition matters.











Explore how to navigate complex situations with depth and sensitivity, together with others, firmly grounded in current insights from ethics and care theory, continually nourished by the arts and care aesthetics. We’ll find guidance, togetherness, creativity, and meaning.
