Ciara MM (she/her) A Bournemouth based poet who has previously performed at Words for Wellbeing fundraisers and with the Pipedown Collective. Her work has been published in the Bournemouth Journal. A goth at heart and typically quite a private person, she finds poetry a useful outlet for her oversharing impulses and has a fondness for both the mystical and grotesque expressed in written form.

Megan she/her) A storyteller, facilitator and community-maker who creates spaces where women can speak truthfully and be heard. Through her work, she explores voice, courage and the stories we carry but often keep hidden. She hosts The Loom, a popular women's story night in Bridport and Dorchester. www.megansimson.com

A person walks out of calm water at sunrise, their silhouette dark against the golden and pink reflections on the surface. In the distance, a sailboat floats near the shore, and mist drifts over low hills beneath a softly streaked sky.

A close-up of a small orange ladybird with black spots perched on the stem of a tall purple wildflower, surrounded by green grass in soft focus. The vibrant purple petals contrast with the lush green background, creating a bright, autumnal scene.

Couldn’t help myself when I saw this gorgeous ladybird 🐞 I had to capture it 🥰
