Listener Poet Sessions

 
 

Experience the Power of Being Heard

 

Listener Poets offer one-on-one listening sessions where you’re invited to share whatever’s on your mind. After each conversation, we create a personalized poem that reflects your story—honoring your voice with care and creativity.

Our healing arts programs are offered both in-person and remotely, designed especially for healthcare professionals, students, patients, and caregivers. We help ease the stress and burnout that often comes with care work.

Your poem becomes a starting point for Brave Conversations—small-group, facilitated sessions with colleagues that foster trust, empathy, and deeper connection.
