COME ALONG TO THE ORCHARD
Themes range from social justice issues, mental health, fandom, and beyond. Our workshops are inclusive and encouraging for all writers, whether you’re budding or blooming!
The energy of everyone at the event was very warm and welcoming. Even though it was my first time participating in a Poetry Orchard event, I felt immediately at home. There was lots of (virtual) applause and appreciation for every poem. Definitely something I'd want to join again in the future.
I just wanted to say how much I love these workshops - they provide an hour of safe and affirming energy that is much needed during these uncertain times, so please never stop doing these workshops! they help more than you know <3
I loooooved it. This is the most fun I've ever had in a workshop. As a neurodivergent person, I felt very comfortable and safe in the environment created. The soothing music during the writing period made my heart warm, and let the poetry flow through me.
This is such a lovely and welcoming community! The workshops sometimes deal with some heavy Feelings, but we're never obligated to share when not comfortable. It's like a cute version of group therapy, but instead of anxiety and revealing we make art then scream at each other when we see how good it is!
