"Bringing together our listening hearts"

Certified Listener Poet Erin FitzGerald, Cohort 9, invoked The Good Listening Project in a recent AAHPM (American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine) self care forum, in which she led palliative experts through a breathing exercise and reflection, and introduced the concept of generous listening.

Participants shared stories and had the opportunity to listen, write, and share their poems with each other, offering gratitude for "the gift of bringing together our listening hearts to provide some healing and community."
