The Poetic Nest seeks to provide a sanctuary where diverse experiences can be expressed through creative writing and poetry. This immersive experience offers bereaved parents and their communities a place to find solace from the trauma of birth experiences, infertility struggles, and the loss of their babies and children.

Our poet-in-residence, Sara Mansour, an award-winning leader, lawyer, and the director of Australia’s largest live poetry slam, Bankstown Poetry Slam (BPS), will deliver these workshops.
