POETRY PLAY & PRACTICE: The Magic of Spring and New Growth – MAY 16-18, 2025 at SCOL
With Debra Elisa Wöhrmann and Kate Rudigier
May 16 - 18, 2025
Join us to delight in the magic of words, story, community, light, and new growth. Mid-May is a magical time to linger on the retreat land outside of Goldendale, Washington. We will learn from the natural world and invite its inspiration as we read poetry, share responses, and create. Some guided meditation will be offered, and there will be free time to wander or to sit in contemplation. This retreat will support deep listening. It will offer time to write and reflect. No experience necessary, and all experiences are welcome. Critique is not a part of this weekend though elements of poetry will be discussed naturally. The vegetarian meals will be delicious! Let us know if you have any questions.
11am Friday, May 16 to 2pm Sunday, May 18
