Portland Woman Writers Workshop
Finding Your Inner Treasures:

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

We invite you to join us in creative community as we enter into this autumn season. It is our hope that this in-person weekly “mini retreat” series may be a gift to yourself as we gradually emerge from these last few years of isolation. Each weekly session is an invitation, through writing and art, to discover and rediscover your inner treasures and talismans that bring hope and resilience. We will explore a variety of mixed media techniques and materials such as painting, drawing, collage, image transfer, and simple ceramic techniques. By the end of the group, you will have a personal treasure chest to inspire and sustain you throughout the darker days of winter. This weekly retreat series also offers you a chance to rekindle your creative spark, cultivate new ways of enriching yourself and your life in this next chapter, and nurture and nourish yourself in the supportive, uplifting company of other women.

This program offers space for creative expression for women of all ages and backgrounds. No writing or art experience is necessary. All art materials, as well as snacks and tea, 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.
