Holding Space is a series of online workshops that remind us that poetry is not just an art form; it is a way of life and an opportunity to connect with others.

The Holding Space online poetry workshop series is a journey of truth, of creating a safe and intentional space for creative expression, deep listening and personal transformation through poetry. Rooted in the belief that words can heal, connect and empower, this series of workshops invites you to explore your inner landscapes and witness life with compassion.

Through themed writing prompts, reflective readings and guided sharing, join Manchester poet Emma-Jane Barlow on a journey of authenticity and vulnerability to create from the heart without judgment or seeking validation.

Workshops take place monthly throughout 2026 – sign up for each session via Eventbrite.
