Listener Poets
Listener Poets hold space for people to share whatever is on their mind in one-on-one listening sessions.
We then write each person a custom poem.
We also use these poems to facilitate meaningful conversations among colleagues, strengthening the social fabric within healthcare systems and contributing to a culture where people care about each other’s wellbeing.
Certified Listener Poet Alumni
The eight-week Certified Listener Poet course brings you deep into the practice of good listening and compassionate writing through thoughtful listening, integrating arts and humanities into medicine, and helping the healthcare community.
Donors & Supporters
Thank you so much to our donors, supporters, and event sponsors since the very beginning. We wouldn’t be having anywhere near as much impact without your support.
