Dialing a hotline is time travel. It’s a spell in mono. It’s a ritual in real time.
Instructions for deep listening:
-
Set aside 15 unrushed minutes. Let the world know you’re unavailable to everything but wonder.
-
Plug in your headphones like you’re tuning into a secret station broadcast by ferns and forgotten gods.
-
Dial (833) ECO-POEM. This is the threshold.
-
Listen with more than your ears. Let your skin, your feet, your spine tune in. Let the wind be your translator.
- Allow yourself be confounded. Let the unnameable rewild your nervous system
-
Notice what stirs. Let what you hear awaken experimentation, collaboration, playfulness - not just with words, but with stones, trees, cloudscapes, sidewalk cracks.
-
Take field notes: a phrase, a scent, a feeling in your ribcage.
-
Make time for the eco-poetic embodiment practice. Even five minutes of stillness with a tree counts.
- Leave a message on the hotline voicemail, be it a whisper, a revelation, a weather report from your biome.
- Hang up.
-
Dial again if the spirit moves you. The hotline is always there, like a stream under the city.
- Share with your kindred cabal of moss witches, anarcha-taoists, ecstatic walkers, and poem-dazed dirt worshippers.
