Yarra Valley Spoken Word October 2024

Loading Events

The original custodians of the Yarra Valley, the Wurundjeri people, didn’t write. Their wisdom travelled through time in songs, stories and dance.  We acknowledge this land’s indigenous ancestors and elders, oral historians of the dream-time. This poetry gathering sits on the shoulders of countless generations of wisdom keepers and spoken-word story tellers.

Welcome to our Yarra Valley Spoken Word Community.

We meet at The Dreaming Space Academy at Yarra Valley ECOSS, Wesburn on the second Friday of the month and welcome you to join us and share your musings.

Ours is a space to share the power of the spoken word, be inspired by our community of artists and learn to write and share life’s depths through this life changing art form.

Families are welcome until after supper, we have a feature artist each month and then Open Mic.

We are very excited to welcome back an old friend this month to Yarra Valley Spoken Word.
Murray Goodchild has been a teller of stories for all of his adult life. Through song and poetry, his words seek to express the pathway to redemption drawing upon personal experiences and learnings.
His background as a therapist and interest in Anthroposophy have taken him on an exploration of the way that stories can speak to our biology at the deepest level. A passion for Permaculture also provides ample opportunity to observe the way that everything is connected, such as the way an audience can lift a performer and vice versa.
What Murray loves most is when the border between audience and performer disappears completely and it is revealed that we are all one.
Join us as we explore the creative process with Murray
on Friday 11th October
6 – 9 pm
in The Dreaming Space Dome
at Yarra Valley ECOSS – 711 Old Warburton Hwy, Wesburn
