Writing exercises to get your creativity flowing before you write your own poetry and then opportunity to share in safe and affirming space.

noSHAMEmoreLOVE and LGBT Foundation present a sex positive space for queer people and their creativity.

NoSHAMEmoreLOVE is a sex-positive space for queer people in Manchester, designed to nurture self-expression and creativity. It’s split into two halves:

  • sit+write– a vulnerable and intentional space to build and connect with community, and yourself. Here you can explore shame, love, sex, the highs, the lows, the mundane, the trauma, the healing. Whether you’re putting pen to paper for the first time or you’ve filled countless pages, this space is for you.
  • show+tell – there’s no expectation to share what you write, you’re feel to go home after the sit+write, but if you choose to stay, show+tell offers you a chance to breathe and celebrate your words and those of others in a supportive environment.

Age guidance: this workshop is for adults (18+) only.
