Gill Phillips @WhoseShoes reflects on a week of gathering ideas and examples around the use of music in storytelling, listening to 'ordinary' people and spreading best practice.

Celebrating 'ordinary' people who are not so ordinary.

Lemon lightbulbs 🍋💡🍋

• Creativity and music are powerful ways of reaching new audiences, or reaching 'old' audiences in new ways
• Wild Card Podcast Series ... is also a 'Symphony of us' !
• We are all human beings - be curious and find out about others. You will have far more in common than you have differences. Connections are everywhere.
• It is courageous and often painful to share 'lived experience stories'
• The 'Wild Card Whose Shoes' podcast series now has lots of powerful stories - please listen to them and help spread the word.
• How about including some of them, or relevant clips from them, in clinical education?
• Let's continue building the #WMTY social movement, finding out what really matters to people in the most holistic sense, and truly listening. 
• Wild cards, please disturb’ people, pirates and shooglers - JOIN US!
