Yarra Valley Spoken Word Friday 12th September 2025 Feature Poet Mandy Segal

Please Join us in welcoming one of our beloved regulars to the main stage!

Mandy is 64, she works as a mental health nurse, something she has been doing for over 30 yrs.

She loves writing about people’s lives and about nature and new beginnings and she enjoys acting and music.

Like a caterpillar she is emerging from a cocoon into a butterfly or a dew drop making its way to the ocean…

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.

Welcome to our Yarra Valley Spoken Word Community.

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.

Spoken Word is an inclusive project.
