"Emily has an easy, gracious, supportive way of helping people open to and explore their writing voice. If you're already a writer, this process will help stimulate and deepen your creative process. If you've never written, or are more of a beginning writer, Emily will help create a safe place for new self-expression. I have been writing for decades and have been in several groups over the years. This group has been a beautiful gift in my life, and Emily is a gem." - J.C.

The two Eclipses this February are potentially powerful catalysts for growth and change. We will explore, through writing, how to make the most of these cosmic opportunities. With the Solar Eclipse in Aquarius, and the Lunar Eclipse in Virgo, we can expect themes related to: community, freedom, service, and healing. Contact Emily: emily@pdxwomenwriters.com, 503-288-7097.

The journey of our life is one of the most important stories we'll ever write. In this 6-week workshop, we'll draw from the rich material of our personal story to write that which needs to be told. What fires have you walked through? Where has the light of grace risen to meet you? If you do not tell your story who will? In this workshop, we'll look at both our outer and inner worlds for the truth of our personal myth. Contact Dawn: dawn@pdxwomenwriters.com, 503-654-1200

Substitutes

If you have participated in a previous Portland Women Writers workshop or retreat, you are welcome to sign up as a substitute for a weekly workshop. Substituting is a great option for writers who are unable to commit to a full ten-week workshop, but who want to stay connected with our writing community.

How it works: Your name will be on a substitute list for a particular workshop, and if a regular participant knows she will be absent for a session she can contact you. If you want to attend, you pay the participant directly for the cost of that session.

If you are interested in substituting for any of the weekly workshops, contact the facilitator of that group.
