The Good Listening Project
Good listening is healing.

What We Do
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and community of Listener Poets dedicated to humanizing healthcare through the healing power of poetry and compassionate presence.
The ripple effect of good listening fundamentally shifts how it feels to work with and care for others.

Our Impact
“The impact this poetry experience had on me was phenomenal. It had a ripple effect that impacted so many more people in my life than just myself.
It helped me get through the day with ease, as if weight had been lifted off my shoulders that I didn’t even really know I had.”
