About the Course

Join a dynamic course that blends deep listening, reflective writing, and community engagement. You’ll be part of a small cohort of 6-10 participants all drawn to the intersection of care and creativity.

Participants come from a range of fields and life paths, including:

  • Nurses, physicians, and healthcare workers

  • Poets, writers, and artists seeking community impact

  • Therapists, chaplains, and social workers

  • Educators and public health professionals

  • Practitioners and students of Narrative Medicine

  • Veterans, caregivers, and organizers

If you care deeply about others, love poetry or creative expression, and want to listen in ways that matter, we’d love to meet you.
