For a whole weekend, poet Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer invites us to bring our playful selves, our wounded selves, our silly and serious and curious selves into a welcoming, supportive, generous environment where we can explore and create together. No previous experience necessary. You don’t even have to like poems to participate.

Multiple events throughout the weekend. Please visit Methow Arts to learn more and register.

Leading with Love: Writing as a Practice to Keep the Heart Opening
An intergenerational playshop.

In a time of ugliness, isolation and fear, how might we meet our own heartache with curiosity—not to absolve those who hurt or harm, but to keep ourselves from hardening. In this two-hour writing playshop, we will not fix anything, but we will practice showing up with curiosity, wonder, and a devotion for telling the truth. What does it mean to belong here? What does showing up to a blank page have to teach us about how we might show up with the rest of the world?

Time: 11:30 A.M. - 2:00 P.M.
Location: At Room One
Free event, but registration required
Limited to 15-20 LGBTQ+ valley folk.
