Care is the attentive and compassionate action of looking after someone or something. Caring comes with an inner bearing of empathy, responsibility, and commitment.

For us, care extends beyond the personal into the social and ecological. It means honoring the interdependence of life, where a gesture of care for another being is also care for the whole. By cultivating care in our daily actions, we nurture the possibility of more regenerative and compassionate cultures, that places the well-being of all beings and the planet at the center.

We see care as a collective practice: caring for ourselves, caring for each other, the beings and places that surround us and caring for the world we are part of. It is the thread that weaves connection, belonging, and resilience within a group.

In the course, it is the way we listen deeply to one another, the way we hold others and ourselves with kindness. Care is the everyday practice of noticing what is needed, offering support, and remembering that we all thrive when we feel seen and valued. Through practices like listening circles, looping, addressing injustice and privilege, and engaging in collective care work such as cooking, we nurture a culture where differences are respected, conflict is met with compassion, and trust has space to grow.
