Sarah took our open mic stage for the first time this past month.

She shared a super sexy poem about enjoying the feeling of being looked at with eyes of longing and desire. Yes to owning our sexiness and embracing it.

You're a total babe Sarah!

Our audience is always filled with such wholesome and snuggly humans*.

We don't have a Mosh Pit... we have a Squish Pit.
Crowd surfers beware...you will be hugged.

*Side note hugging is never obligatory and only welcomed when consensual. There are always plenty of "non hugging" seats available too.

It's always a treasure to have you on our stage @sampetercine

I never know what to expect with your poetry, but when it starts with your cheeky laugh I know its going to be good.

I feel like these photos reflect the journey you so beautifully take us on, the sassy self, and the deep feeling self hand in hand.

Janine has us in tears at @sevensistersfestival in our open mic recently and it was great to have her back on our stage again last Friday night.

She was reading from a book of poetry she published many years ago (I've forgotten exactly how long ago... maybe it was 10 years?).

We hope to see and hear more from you.

We freaking ADORE our volunteers. (Seriously, it's you babes that keep us ticking each month.)

These are the humans that greet you at the door, hand you your chai, sell you your raffle tickets, plump up your cushions, and help the space feel so incredible.

Let's show some love to our wider MT family crew. ^_^ We've had SO SO SO many of you help us out over the years.

If you know a MT volunteer from some point in the last decade, tag them in the comments and show them some love ^_^

(And we look forward to seeing you THIS FRIDAY for our last event of the year)

Stories come in all forms.

As we approach our 10 year anniversary we have been going back through our photos over the years.

We LOVE this shot of the incredible singer/songwriter and musical storyteller Essie Thomas
We love how Essie is clearly so deeply dropped into the music they are making and the story they are singing. Essie now makes music on the West Coast of USA.

Behind Essie is a picture of the legendary Candy Royalle
This event was the month of Candy's passing. Candy lives on through the ripples of her work, the impact of her words, and the deeply heartfelt ferocity with which she embraced her audiences with.

We a genuinely humbled by the talent that has been on our stages throughout the years.

Mother Tongue is an intimate, warm and cozy night

Mother Tongue is an intimate, warm and cozy night of Women's Spoken Word (inc poetry, stories, songs, etc).

It is a space to sit back and listen, receive, as well as step up your own voice and share a piece yourself via the open mic.

It is a place to witness Woman in all of her incredible facets.

All genders are welcome in the audience.

Open mic slots available to those who identify as women or whose gender spectrum includes "Woman" in it. Our stage is open to all women: Cis women, Trans Women, Non-binary and gender-fluid people who feel "woman" is an identity they share an experience with.

Passionate, Powerful, Vulnerable, Honest.
