My insecurities for your comforts

Your comforts are made

What our Members Say About us

I attended the Delhi Poetry Slam Retreat and in just three days it gave me more joy than I have ever had in my lifetime. They gave me a safe platform, a wonderful audience, a patient mentor and above all, the confidence to speak up. I learnt not only about the intricacies of spoken word but also about how to live life as an artist. Highly recommended for beginners and young adults trying to figure out how to channel their art.

After travelling to many places, I finally ended up at Delhi Poetry Slam. I just felt myself heard and that a part of my story has been said aloud with people with such big hearts and open minds! There was warmth in every heart and I learnt not just about poetry but about the beauty of strangers. I have definitely become a richer person in thoughts and experiences, and I feel myself unburdened of my own chaos.

Delhi Poetry Slam is a brilliant nurturing environment to craft the inner poet in you. You can get inspired and mentored by their tutors, who'll take your poetry to the next level. It is a place where you won't be judged for your opinions or other unconventionalities, but for the heart in your content. If you've got poetry spewing out of you and need to amplify your voice, I recommend you to be part of this community.
