Sip n Share – spoken word, storytelling, poetry and wine

Our Sip n Share poetry evenings continue to grow. An evening of wine, words, and wonder awaits at Rahona . Join us for Sip n Share—a relaxed, welcoming night where poetry flows as freely as the wine.

Featuring a guest poet to spark your imagination, followed by an open mic session for anyone who wants to share their words—whether it’s your first poem or your fiftieth. Whether you’re stepping up to the mic or simply soaking it all in, you’ll be in good company.

Our last evening for 2025 is 18 October with feature poet Sarah Temporal.

Sarah is a prize-winning poet, producer, and educator from the Northern Rivers NSW. Her writing is concerned with revealing our hidden selves, and ranges from personal confessions to reclaimed fairy tales. With a background in education, she has taught poetry to hundreds of people from ages 8 to 89, and now runs a regional arts initiative (Poets Out Loud) to empower voices of all ages. Arriving after twenty years of performing live, Tight Bindings is her first published collection.

Her poetry appears in Best of Australian Poems, Australian Poetry Anthology, Cordite, Meniscus and more. She has been a finalist three times for the Arts Queensland XYZ Prize for Innovation in Spoken-Word. She is the winner of The Bunker Spoken-Word Prize 2021 and the Nimbin Performance Poetry World Cup 2019. Sarah has featured at Byron Writers Festival, Kyogle Writers Festival, Indie Festival Maitland, National Folk Festival, and more.
