In Summary
You’ll talk with a Listener Poet for 20 minutes about anything you’d like, then receive a personalized poem based on the conversation. The poem will also be shared (anonymously) with the Unconference organizers prior to the event.
What to Expect in Your Listening Session
There’s no need to prepare, but you’re welcome to consider what you might like your poem to be about in advance of your session. The Health Equity Unconference is a space for leaders to build community, develop a toolkit for their work, and focus on their individual wellbeing. Keeping this in mind, your poem could focus on something you care about, an experience you’ve had, or something that’s been on your mind or heart lately.
Your Listener Poet will write your poem, based on the conversation, and email it to you within two weeks of your session. The poem will be anonymized and is yours to keep. The anonymized poem will also be shared with the Unconference organizers prior to the event.
A Listener Poet talks with a clinician at Johns Hopkins Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., January 2020
“From my standpoint as a physician, it really turned the tables to have someone really listen to me. It’s usually my job to listen to my patients.
I walked out feeling a small amount of joy I hadn’t felt before in my heart.”
