Say the Unsaid & Recite the Unread - Cosy Poetry Picnic

Have you ever read a line that felt like it knew you? Or even carried words inside you that ache to cast their echoes into the world and pierce its deaf ears?

Join us for a cosy Sunday morning poetry picnic - a circle of curious souls gathering beneath the shade of trees to share poems, reflections, and moments of deep connection as the morning sun warms the grass around us.

Bring a poem of your own that has been buried in your journal collecting dust, peeping through the pages and longing to be heard. Or just bring poems you love - that gave you goosebumps, synced with your heartbeat, inspired you, comforted you, or revealed something you couldn't quite put into words yourself.

WHAT to expect?

• Deep, human connection through poetry
• A relaxed picnic gathering surrounded by nature
• Resonance - Poets that open inner worlds… and awaken something in your own

WHO is this for?

• Anyone curious, you don’t need to be a poet!
• Whether you write, love poetry, or simply want to listen and feel - this space is open to you :-)

WHAT to bring ?

• Poems in any language - your own or ones you love
• A blanket or something to sit on
• Breakfast, tea, snacks, pastries, something to share if you like
• Yourself, as you are :-)

🌿 Community Guidelines

• Only attend if you’re on the attendee list.
• Listen actively and with curiosity, without interrupting.
• Engage with ideas, not individuals. We’re here to explore, learn and share, not to argue.
• Avoid no-shows and same-day dropouts - you'll be flagged as "no show". If this happens, please get in touch, otherwise you’ll be removed from the next meetup. If repeated, you may be removed from the group.
• Please note that the attendee list may be adjusted to accommodate new members or when participants were flagged as late drop-outs or no-shows.

Photos and videos will be taken during the event to share highlights and help grow our community. If you’d rather not be in any of them, just let us know in writing before the event - we’ll gladly respect that.
