Last Saturday, we held our first event, Healing Words: Poetry, Therapy, and the Unconscious.

We’d like to thank our three poets who could make it, Cáit O’Neill McCullogh, Jen Dunn and Jon Miller for their generosity and words, our open mic stars (many of whom shared a piece publicly for the first time!), and our warm and friendly audience - the Bike Shed was packed!

We are so grateful to everyone who came, donated, and shared that there was a collective feeling that we had all been at the start of something good.

Special thanks to Janet at the Bike Shed for making us feel so welcome, and for keeping the tea and coffee flowing, and to Pippa Hembry and Ann McPaul for their organisation and support in helping the whole evening run so smoothly.

We sincerely hope that you will join us for future events. We couldn’t do it without your support. 💚
