Curiosity, Intentionality, and the Transformational Power of Listening Poetry

A Conversation on the Red Transmissions podcast with TGLP Executive Director Jenny Hegland and CLP Cohort 11 alum Elizabeth Torres

In this episode of Red Transmissions Podcast, Jenny Hegland shares her journey from mental health counseling and disaster response to co-creating spaces of healing through The Good Listening Project – a global community of listener poets dedicated to humanizing healthcare.

She reflects on how listening with care and curiosity can transform stories into poetry, offering people the profound experience of being truly heard. With insights into the project’s origins, unique training program, and the practice of equity-informed, somatic listening, Jenny invites us to reimagine listening as a form of connection, co-creation, and community care.
