Dr. Anu Gorukanti
Anu Gorukanti, MD is a public health advocate and pediatric hospitalist who is passionate about health equity and racial justice. She went to undergraduate and medical school at Saint Louis University and enjoyed her time there building her campus Interfaith Alliance, serving as an Interfaith Youth Core Better Together Fellow, as well as leading Interfaith retreats in medical school. She completed her residency at Stanford University and is enjoying the challenge, growth and immense vulnerability of navigating experiences as a new physician-attending. She is passionate about social justice and the role that reflection and contemplation play as building blocks for revolution (as inspired by many theologians, spiritual leaders, and activists before her). She strongly believes that understanding who you are, what you value, and where your values come from can lead to a meaningful and authentic life. She is deeply inspired by her incredible community of colleagues, peers, and friends and ultimately hopes that making spaces for reflection can lead to long-lasting relationships, renewed meaning and purpose in our lives as well as reimagination and revolution of our healthcare system. In her perspective, social change should always honor and incorporate both the individual and systems-based approach. She is deeply grateful for her interfaith friendship and partnership with Laura, her community of friends, family, and her amazing husband who have supported her in trying to build a non-traditional career in medicine.
Laura Holford
Laura Holford, RN MSN, is a community health nurse, oncology certified nurse and nursing educator who sees moral distress moral injury as a spiritual injury and thus has turned to spiritual, reflective, and contemplative interventions to find wholeness, empowerment, and agency. Liberation theology led her to train as a masters prepared nurse at University of San Francisco. Combined with her background as a campus minister & lay community pastor of a Christian Interfaith church, she enjoys nothing more than accompanying people on their healing, reflective, and spiritual paths. Like many mystics before her, she believes that contemplation and action cannot be separated and finds herself naturally helping others’ build reflective, imaginative, and spiritual practices to ground their action and work in the world. She is thankful for all who support Introspective Spaces behind the scenes - family, extended family, friends, therapist, caregivers, and fellow healthcare workers. This community wouldn't be possible without their support!
