Portland Woman Writers Workshop
Radiance, Returning to the Light:

An eight week creative (art-making) retreat series to renew and restore with Margaret Hartsook and Lisa Kagan

As we move from the darkest time of the year towards the return of the light, this in-person weekly “mini retreat” series offers you the chance to step away from the demands of daily life to connect more deeply with your own inner light. Drawing inspiration from nature’s passage through winter’s dormancy into spring’s cycle of blossoming and tapping into the power of myth and personal symbolism, together we will cultivate our personal gardens of possibility through engaging in the creative process. Combining creative writing and visual art, we will explore a variety of mixed media techniques and materials such as painting, drawing, collage, kinetic sculpture, paper mosaics, and printmaking with natural materials. This weekly retreat series offers you a chance to nurture your creative spark, cultivate new ways of enriching yourself and your life in this next chapter, and nourish yourself in the supportive, uplifting company of other women.

This retreat series offers space for creative expression for women of all ages and backgrounds. No writing or art experience is necessary. All art supplies will be provided.

For more information or you would like to register for this program, please contact Lisa at: Lisa @FamilyHeirloomArts.com or at 503.347.1391.

PWW & Touchstone Retreats Vaccination Requirements

We require that all workshop participants and facilitators be fully COVID-19 vaccinated prior to participating in a PWW or Touchstone Retreats in-person program.

COVID-19 Retreat Policy:
• All participants signing up for an in-person workshop or retreat are required to email a photo of their vaccination card to the facilitator at the time of registration.

• Because the rate of transmission is currently high, participants will be required to wear face coverings while indoors. If conditions sufficiently improve and this requirement changes, participants will be notified ahead of time.

• We ask that all in-person retreat participants do a self-evaluation before coming to a retreat and that they remain at home if they have any symptoms.

We will continue to monitor guidance from the national Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) in regard to best practices for indoor gatherings of fully vaccinated adults and we will update our policies accordingly.
