Yes. If you write from the heart, you’re a poet. This space is for expressive writing, not academic analysis. If you have the practice of writing poetry and would like to refine it, learn new techniques or get confidence in sharing your poetry with others, this space is for you.

Sharing is always optional. You’ll be gently encouraged, never pushed. You will experience great benefit from sharing your work because that will propel your confidence to share it widely and to empower your voice as a writer and performer and this is never mandatory.
-
Each session will be different. They’ll always begin with a gentle meditation or visualisation to inspire your writing during the session. Then we will go straight into the workshopping of the poems, reading them for the group and receiving feedback. Some sessions will be more personal driven and some others will be techique driven. They will unfold as we progress.
-
All the sessions are online to include people that are not local to Bristol. However there will be in person local events that will be exclusive for the members of this community that will be announced as we progress in our journey.
