Female minority voices x Laugaren: Poetic Sauna – Heat for the Body, Stories for the Soul

Female Minority Voices and Laugaren warmly invite you to Poetic Sauna — a space shaped by warmth, listening, and care.

This month we gather around The Bandit Queens by Parini Shroff, a novel that explores womanhood, survival, and solidarity in unexpected forms — where grief, humor, rumor, and resistance quietly coexist.

What to Expect:

Poetic Sauna is curated by members of Female Minority Voices and centers poetry, personal texts, reflections, and storytelling by women of minority backgrounds.

The readings create the atmosphere.
Heat helps us slow down.
Between sessions, we cool off, rest, and return.

This is a gentle space.
A shared space.

We come together to listen — not to debate or perform, but to be present with stories about everyday resilience, communal bonds, and the ways women carry, hide, and share what they know. Some words are tender, some sharp, some quietly funny — all held with care.

Everyone is welcome.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
You are welcome whether you speak or simply listen.
