POETRY in the WILD: Women’s Writing Workshop

POETRY IN THE WILD:
A Creative Workshop

in the beautiful
Washougal River Valley

This is for words. For wonder. For the rhythm of embodiment and the rhythm of your voice.

Join us for a unique, journey into creative writing and poetic expression in the heart of the Washougal River Valley. Unlike other offerings, this workshop is centered entirely around writing and gentle movement (for all bodies)—giving space to your inner voice, your stories, and your wild imagination.

You don’t need to be a “poet” or have any prior experience—just a willingness to show up with curiosity.

We’ll explore:

  • Guided poetry prompts and reflective writing sessions

  • Time on the land to gather images, memories, and metaphors

  • Movement to awaken the body (everyone will be able to participate)

  • Group sharing techniques and meaningful connection with others


This is a space to listen deeply—to yourself and to the creative voice that lives within you.


You’ll leave with:

  • New writing and inspiration

  • Practices to sustain your creative life

  • Supportive community and connection

  • A sense of clarity, calm, and creative momentum & tools


This workshop centers the experiences of women and welcomes anyone who identifies as a woman, as well as nonbinary and gender-expansive individuals who wish to participate.


Ages 18+. No experience needed—just a love for words or a longing to find them.

What to bring: a journal/paper, and something to write with. Be prepared for any type of weather. Our day will be a blend of time outside and time spent in the cabin. Optional items: blanket and umbrella.

Location: We will gather on a 5-acre property in the heart of the Washougal River Valley- roughly a 30 minute drive from PDX.

Date: Saturday, November 22, 2025
