Dawn Thompson, friend of Three Muses Press and Portland Women Writers workshop facilitator just shared news of an upcoming writer’s retreat within Oregon’s Silver Falls State Park. Check out the details here.

May 14–16
Spring Women’s Writing Retreat:
Freeing the Wild Feminine

combining Astrology and Sacred Story work

with Emily & Dawn
at Silver Falls Conference Center, Sublimity, OR

“We are all filled with a longing for the wild. There are few culturally sanctioned antidotes for this yearning. We were taught to feel shame for such a desire. We grew our hair long and used it to hide our feelings. But the shadow of the Wild Woman still lurks behind us during our days and in our nights. No matter where we are, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed.” - Clarissa Pinkola Estes
