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.
Entry $10, Dinner Available $10, Children Free.

July’s Yarra Valley Spoken Word Feature Poets are Sioux Dollman and some of her art students from her most recent Heart Art Opening Workshop.
Sioux Dollman is a celebrated local artist who works in many visual mediums and whilst she is most well known for her sculpture, mosaic and rendering work in public spaces, she also incorporates the spoken word into much of her art.
Sioux will be leading us in a Heart Opening Meditation that she commences her Art Workshops with and her students will be sharing the paintings they completed over the 8 week series accompanied with prose and poetry.
Please join us and share your heart at open mic or just soak up the love in the audience…
