Because we rely on food truck deliveries, our start times can vary—we truly appreciate your patience while we get everything ready for you!

A Note on Volunteering: All our team members undergo official Police and Working with Children Checks. To ensure the safety of our community and the vulnerable individuals we serve, please do not assist with restocking unless you have completed this formal vetting process.

Introduction to exploring poetry!
2026-05-31 14:00 - 16:00 | Marrar Woorn Neighbourhood House, 6 Pengilley Avenue, Apollo Bay, VIC, 3233, Australia
Join Tierney and Yasi from Melbourne-based poetry collective Slamtidote for a workshop deep-diving into expression through poetry.
In this session we will discuss finding inspiration in the everyday, channelling feelings and thoughts into words on a page and using art as an escape from this ever-chaotic world.
Tierney:
Tierney Khan is a writer and poet from Naarm/Melbourne. During the day you can find her working at publishing company Allen & Unwin, but by night she is either MC-ing the latest Slamtidote event, performing poetry at a fundraiser or just plain scribbling in her journal at home with her cats.
Yasi:
Yasi is a apprentice carpenter by day, a poet by night. Having been a social worker in his previous career, Yasi brings a broad range of creative experiences that he’s experienced in his life to the table. Having been a poet for over 10 years, Yasi now finds joy in organising poetry events and running workshops in Naarm/Melbourne, with a passion in sharing his passion for poetry with others!
