Program Highlight: Now Listen to This!
We have partnered with Passenger Radio for new programming to support the mental wellness of our pantry guests. In our monthly Now Listen to This! Sessions, participants enjoy various musical genres, guided through active listening by host Bryan Wolf. They discuss the history of the pieces, their inspiration, and the connection between feeling and sound. This session is a chance to pause, reflect, and consider how music can support well-being.
Now Listen to This! brings the “life-changing power of music-making and active listening to a broader community in Metro Detroit, providing access to the deep interpersonal connections and potential for personal development that musical activities offer.” These sessions provide a gentle, culturally inclusive introduction to active listening that reduces stigma around seeking support without feeling like this is a specific mental health or therapy workshop.
Passenger Radio is part of Passenger Recovery Community Center, an organization that uses music and the arts as a pathway to recovery from substance use disorder. Bryan will join us on the third Friday of every month at 10:00 am for the remainder of the year (the radio show airs on the first Sunday of every month at 2pm). We look forward to listening to and discussing great music!
