About this event

A mix of reflective writing exercises and mindfulness offered every 5th Saturday. A moment to pause and reflect on yourself and your writing practice. To write free and to prompts to and for yourself. You are not expected to share, though you are welcome to.

It is held as safe(r) space and meetings are not recorded.

Event time: 6–7.30pm (GMT/UTC)

Duration: 90 minutes

Accessibility: Captioning available, let us know if you have any other accessibility needs.

Queer & trans-affirming.

Our Speak the Word events are designed for adults (18+), and are not appropriate for those under the age of 18. We hope you find a supportive space elsewhere to nourish your poetry.

Organised by

Speak the Word Poetry Salon

Speak the Word Poetry Salon is an online poetry collective that PJ Samuels and nudi co-organise. Other poets holding space for the collective include Maureen Medina, Nona Lea, Tara Singh, NJ Holt, Tanya Denhere and Tarrine Khanom. We host twice-per-week free-access poetry writing, editing and journaling workshops, open mics, and ad hoc literary events.

We're welcoming, queer-led, and queer and trans-affirming.

The sessions are popular but low-key, relaxed, run as a safer space, close-captioned and working towards better accessibility.
