Are there stories begging to be written but you can’t find the words? Have your recent experiences turned into new material for a poem? Is writers block making it difficult to practice self-compassion while creating?

When the Words Speak is an opportunity for you to tap into your emotions while engaging in writing that evokes vulnerability and authenticity. There are no prerequisites to attending; you can be early career writer, an established poet, or someone who just wants to explore your imaginative side. This is a safe and non-judgmental space where your voice is important. We will explore a range of poetic techniques, engage in writing prompts, and participate in group exercises. There will also be opportunities to share your words with the group and seek feedback from other creatives. We will be focusing on various forms of writing: poetry, prose, and short stories.

Manveen Kaur Kohli is a British-Indian currently residing in Perth. Manveen has performed her poetry at various events including, Neon Readings, Perth Poetry Festival, and Woman Scream. Manveen was a finalist in the Australian Poetry Slam (APS) state finals in 2020 and 2021. Her debut poetry collection, ‘We need to talk’ was released in May last year. Manveen currently works as a psychologist at a high school. Her passion for Psychology and Poetry stem from a mutual goal: to make a difference and empower people.
