HEART OF SUMMER, Poetry & Art in the Garden, KINETIC POETRY SCULPTURES, August 3, 2026

KINETIC POETRY SCULPTURES
with Margaret Hartsook and Lisa Kagan 

“Create space to pause and draw sweetness from each bright thing.”
~ James Crews 

Come create with us under the luminous summer skies, allowing yourself to be transported by the magic of the Pacific Northwest peak summer evenings during this art and writing mini retreat. This offering embodies the spirit of a creative retreat paired with summer art camp for adults. We will read and write poetry in the garden as well as engage in play and discovery through nature-based art projects. At our August retreat, we will create kinetic poetry sculptures exploring balance, color, and movement. This evening retreat offers you a chance to awaken your creative spark in the majesty of the natural world, cultivate new ways of enriching yourself and your life in the supportive, uplifting company of other women.  

This program offers space for creative expression for women of all ages and backgrounds. All women are welcome, including cisgender, transgender, and those whose gender identity aligns with womanhood. No writing or art experience is necessary. All art materials, as well as snacks and drinks, will be provided.

“This Touchstone Retreats program was one of the most soul-nourishing days I've ever spent. The silence of women making things is the most sacred sound I know, and you created a beautiful container for that.”
