October 17-19 Poet, freelancer, memoirist, Sharon Wood-Wortman
This I Believe . . . . Sharon Wood Wortman, best known for The Portland Bridge Book and the Poetry & Bridge walks she leads for Portland Parks & Outdoor Recreation, has also published creative nonfiction, one short story, several poems, and is now working on a memoir. She believes in Synchronicity, Carl Jung's philosophy of meaningful chance, and looks for its direction in whatever genre each day brings. In this weekend at the Colonyhouse, participants will read and discuss several of the 79 remarkable, but short essays found in This I Believe (foreword by Studs Terkel, in association with NPR). Participants may reflect upon and write their own 300-word story or stories of whatever belief(s) move them forward across the bridge of writing, or they may bring a writing project and/or questions already in-progress. Sharon's Web site is www.bridgestories.com.

Then you need the new WRITER IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM at Colonyhouse Spend two glorious days writing and communing with other writers, within view and earshot of the Pacific Ocean. Program starts Friday night with introductions: who you are and what you want from the weekend. Each Writer-in-Residence weekend is run by the guest writer. Individual meetings and writing schedules will be planned and set-up on Friday evening at the evening meal. Each attendee will bring his or her own writing project and plan on at least 10-12 hours to work on the project. Each attendee will share in preparing at least one communal meal during the weekend. Meal assignments will be sent out with the information sheets.
