Yarra Valley Spoken Word February 2025

Hi fellow Spoken Word devotees,
Welcome to a wonderful programme for 2025…
To kick off the year with firsts, our first feature poet for 2025 is our team member Alexandra for whom it will be her first time as feature poet!
Every Spoken Word evening starts with a poetry workshop, and it is now tradition that Alexandra shares her creation first.
Her reason for this is that it’s the only poem she writes all month due to a crazy busy schedule of, according to her much adored teenage son, living her best life.
In honour of Valentine’s Day, Alexandra will read a collection of poetry with the theme ‘What I’ve learnt about love (and life) from what I wrote in every poetry workshop bar one, in the last two years!’
Join us for a fun twist on a romantic evening with fabulous friends as we share our musings on love, life, the universe and well, everything.
See you on Friday 14th February, 6-9pm.
in The Dreaming Space Dome
at Yarra Valley ECOSS – 711 Old Warburton Hwy, Wesburn

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, we do a workshop, serve supper, have a feature artist each month and then Open Mic.

Spoken Word is an inclusive project.
