Reimagining Healthcare
and helping healthcare professionals remember their brilliant and resilient selves as together we rekindle the joy that comes from caring for and being cared by another human.
Founded in 2017 by nurse and artist Tara Rynders, The Clinic combines arts, music, movement and caring science to create immersive experiences and workshops for health care professionals to remember their (re)brilliancy and rekindle the joy that comes from caring for and being cared by another human being.

Keynote with Tara Rynders RN
(Re)Brilliancy: Remembering and Honoring the Brilliant and Resilient Human Beings We Already Are.
Join nurse, dancer, and creative joy incitor Tara Rynders as she invites you into an innovative and interactive experience of reflection, joy, and self-compassion.
"Thank you for including this powerful closing! It was humbling to be in a room full of powerful nurse leaders willing to be vulnerable. We all hold so much in (grief, loss, fear, etc) and forge on. Modeling this among each other and with our students is how we change the culture."

"Ringside"
Co-Directed by Dr. Clare Hammoor and Tara Rynders RN
"Ringside" will be debuting its West Coast Premiere June 2023
Ringside unmasks the caregiver to reveal the collective grief and anger that lies underneath the applause to remind us all that we are something much greater than superheroes, we are humans. Ringside reminds us that every win has a loss and that superheroes without PPE will also die. Ringside leaves you face to face with the inner emotions of a nurse battling more than just COVID-19, but the realization that she has spent her entire life saving everyone else except herself. Ringside ultimately leaves us wondering who saves the last woman standing if everyone else has chosen front row seats? Packed with punches, Ringside leaves us with a nurse who is beginning to realize the real opponent she is actually fighting is the same opponent she is trying to save, herself.

It spoke to the decades I have spent witnessing the grief of others, and captured compassion fatigue we are all vulnerable to feeling.

Seeing other people struggle with the same things I struggle with...built a camaraderie around the fact that nobody is going through it alone.
