Yarra Valley Spoken Word Share spoken word. Be inspired by your community's wordsmiths. Write & explore life’s depths together. Welcome to our Yarra Valley Spoken Word Community.

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. 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 Concession, $15 Full, Children Free. Supper $10 Available. Join our Facebook Group here:
