Poetry & Velvet | Jazz & Djeran
Event description
Well it has been a minute…
It's time for cosy poetry evenings, how wonderful!
The season where this all started...
Anything could happen and that it is a pretty fantastic evening to be amongst
W E L C O M E !
Come on in, let us surrender to the enchantment and mystery of this creative space. We shall sip on refreshing herbal tea, lovingly crafted just for this evening. Be whisked away by the sweet sounds of smooth jazz in a comfortable lounge room like setting.
We shall settle into listening to this incredible community and sharing one of your own poems, stories or songs or one that really resonates and feels worth sharing here and now…
These evenings together are a beautiful time. There is innate healing, joy and uniqueness within this offering. We are keen to share another with you. They have all felt like that, and the feeling grows, so thank you!
I really want to reiterate, that you do not have to get up and share to be a part of this evening, listening and witnessing is an important role.
Smooth jazz & Djeran (Autumn)
Well our feature artist Gabe plays the piano beautifully and smooth sweet Jazz style and its autumn, a delightful time to breath in the freshness and enjoy cosying down…
This can be a theme to inspire your sharings if you choose to share, but all other themes are welcome, we just provide this to anchor the evening and some people appreciate a boundary or challenge to work with.
How the evening goes?
This is an Open Mic for poetry, story and song. A feature artist will thread the evening together as we listen and perhaps feel inspired to share ourselves.
Tea included in ticket, BYO Snacks/dinner
Chairs and floor cushions to sit on, BYO extra cushion is encouraged
Doors open at 6pm and shut at 6:30pm
Parking at Feld
Little leaf co sign is where you turn in, you can park out the front of the pet shop next door, but do not go through the gate into the back as they will want to head home during the offering and your car could get locked in
Thoughts on having kids in the space?
So in truth this is a question mark for us, essentially these places are very vulnerable at times and I really want to hold space for that, for unfiltered poetry, be it sexual/erotic or heavy emotionally, when people are sharing these things it is important they feel heard and safe to do so. Sometimes there is swearing also. So with that, for now I want to leave it up to the parents, for the most part when people are sharing would your child be able to listen respectfully? Will you be able to supervise them and still enjoy yourself?
Are you comfortable with the above mentioned potential elements of the evening? With that we have had people bring their kids along before and they have been keen to share. Currently I want to open the space to children, with respect and honour for the adults baring their soul at the same time.
Hoping this makes sense to everyone, open to discussion if you are unsure please reach out
Blessings and Love
