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 Butter Honey Pig Bread by Francesca Ekwuyasi, a novel that moves through food, faith, queerness, motherhood, and desire — tracing how love and belonging are carried in the body, across generations and borders.

What to Expect:

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

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

This is a gentle space.
A shared space.

We come together to listen — not to analyze or explain, but to stay with stories about intimacy, hunger, care, and becoming. Some words linger on touch and memory, others on rupture, forgiveness, and joy. All are held with attentiveness and respect.

You are welcome exactly as you are.
You are welcome in the body you arrive in.
You are welcome whether you speak or simply listen.
