An open mic dedicated to exploring and sharing the profound emotions inherent in working with serious illness, loss, and end-of-life care. This is a communal offering for the hospice and palliative care clinician community to intimately meet in the shared experience of what it means to do the work we do. It is a space—with laughter and tears—to grieve the losses, honor the beauty, and connect creatively and vulnerably. Together, we will listen and be listened to, remembering that we are not alone.
Through poetry, storytelling, music, and other forms of creative expression, this open mic is an opportunity to:
Reflect: Honor the grief and growth that accompany your professional caregiving journey.
Connect: Find solidarity and support among a network of peers who deeply understand the unique challenges of your role.
Restore: Draw inspiration and healing through creativity, connection, and ritual.
How to Prepare: This is an open mic format, meaning anyone who wishes to share is welcome to bring their voice to the space. Consider preparing a poem, a song, a short story, or even a reflective thought that captures your experience. Music will be interwoven throughout the event to hold space for all participants. Sharing is optional—listening is just as powerful.
Come as you are to this sacred time for connection, compassion, and healing.
*In order to preserve a flexible format for sharing and receiving, no CE credit will be offered for this special community event.
