SUMMARY:Poetics of Change with Christopher Luna
DESCRIPTION:In this one-day generative and experiential poetry workshop\, participants will delve into the Poetics of Change. The group will have the opportunity to visit three locations on Plas Newydd Farm that will be essential to the future habitat and wetland restoration work planned for the farm. At each location we’ll learn a little about the past\, present and potential futures of the site\, and write to prompts inspired by each place. After our farm journey guided by PN Farm’s Abby Brathwaite and David Morgan\, we will return to the house to share some of what you have written in a safe\, supportive environment.  No experience writing poetry is necessary! Christopher and Abby will provide all the guidance needed to access this workshop!Please bring comfortable clothes and shoes for the weather\, a journal and pen\, a sack lunch and a water bottle. Scholarships are available if cost is a barrier!

We received a generous gift to seed our scholarship fund\, and don’t want to turn anyone away if we can help it!***Please note*** While we will be driving to the locations around the farm\, there will be an opportunity to walk a short distance at each location. Terrain is uneven. Please let us know at arts@pnfarm.com if you need mobility assistance\, and we will find a way to support you!Christopher Luna is a poet\, editor\, teacher\, writing coach\, and artist who served as the Inaugural Poet Laureate of Clark County\, WA from 2013-2017.

SUMMARY:Canopy Time
DESCRIPTION:If you pay attention\, you can tell time by the forest canopy—twigs and seeds\, branches and leaves marking seasons with color\, fullness\, sway.  – Abby Braithwaite\, A Portrait of the Artist as a Crone Tree. Canopy Time walks are mostly monthly walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm. Hosted by Abby Braithwaite and David Morgan (and some surprise guests)\, these adventures give us the chance to explore some of the most beautiful places on the farm\, and provide a deeper opportunity to feel the rhythms of the land\, observe the comings and goings of migratory birds\, watch the bud and bloom of native and invasive plants\, swat mosquitoes\, and dodge raindrops! Part nature journaling\, part phenological record-keeping\, these explorations are a great way to spend more time out on the land than some of our workshops allow. Bring your journal\, your sketchbook\, your camera and your senses. Suggested Donation of $10\, accepted onsite via cash\, check or Venmo

SUMMARY:Soup and Words – Drop-in Writing Time!
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to sit and write together! There is little I love more than sitting in a warm room with brilliant minds\, putting words on the page and sharing snippets of what we create. So I’m making the space for this in my life this year\, and I’d love to have you join me! There will be soup. There will be writing prompts. There will be time to share\, with (gentle\, loving) feedback if you want it. And there will be time to sit quietly and get some writing done. (And everyone knows reading is integral to the writing process\, so if what you need is a few hours carved out of each month with a good book and a cup of tea\, no one will be counting words produced!) Participation will be capped at 12 people\, so please RSVP to this free event so that we can keep the group size intimate and safe for sharing!

SUMMARY:Writing Your Tree Story\, with Kate Gray
DESCRIPTION:Come talk with the trees of Plas Newydd Farm\, and bring your tree stories with you for a one-day generative workshop with Oregon-based poet Kate Gray. Maybe you climbed trees as a kid. Maybe you picnicked under trees in parks. Maybe you made your living planting seedlings\, tending them\, and then shipping your crop to the sawmill. Maybe you’re a woodworker wanting to dig deep into the stories your lumber carries. Whether you are a tree-lover or just a human who lives in a wooden house\, touches paper\, or\, for that matter\, breathes\, trees are a part of your story. What tree(s) shaped you? In this generative workshop\, you’ll write the story of a tree in your life\, whether it shielded you\, grew you\, or gob-smacked you with its beauty. No tree springing to mind? We’ll make sure you have the chance to meet some of the trees of Plas Newydd Farm to spur your writing. No experience necessary. Poetry/prose/song encouraged. You’ll experience a guided meditation\, writing to prompts\, a walk in the forested landscape of Plas Newydd (weather-permitting)\, laughter\, and the Gateless Method of specific\, positive feedback. Kate Gray’s passion stems from writing\, teaching\, and volunteering. For Every Girl: New & Selected Poems was published by Widow & Orphan House in 2019. Her first full-length book of poems\, Another Sunset We Survive (Cedar House Books\, 2007) was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award and followed chapbooks\, Bone-Knowing (2006)\, winner of the Gertrude Press Poetry Prize and Where She Goes (2000)\, winner of the Blue Light Chapbook Prize. Kate’s first novel\, Carry the Sky\, (Forest Avenue\, 2014) stares at bullying without blinking. In her novel-in-progress\, she narrates\, in Sylvia Plath’s voice\, what led to The Bell Jar and her suicide attempt in 1953. After 25 years teaching English at a community college\, she retired to coach writers. Kate and her partner live in a pine-and-oak forest in the mid-Columbia River Gorge with two impetuous dogs.

SUMMARY:Ecopoetics with Daniela Naomi Molnar
DESCRIPTION:***Canceled***Ecopoetics with Daniela Naomi MolnarWhat does it mean to write WITH a place\, to consider a place as a wise collaborator rather than a backdrop? Through guided prompts and examples\, this class will explore how place can be a medium that twines with the medium of language within the vessel of a poem. You will learn how to braid your own voice with the voices of the earth in the inspiring company of others. You’ll also get an introduction to the vast world of contemporary and historical ecopoetics\, a field that is fascinated by how places are made by poems and how poems make places. If weather allows\, we will be outside for part of the day. No previous experience is required though a familiarity with writing and/or reading poetry will be helpful. Please bring writing materials and a bag lunch\, and come ready to spend some time outdoors.  Coffee\, tea and snacks will be provided throughout the day.Please let us know at arts@pnfarm.com if you have have accommodation needs\, or if cost is a barrier. Daniela Naomi Molnar is an artist\, poet\, and writer collaborating with the mediums of language\, image\, paint\, pigment\, and place. She is also a wilderness guide\, educator\, and eternal student. Her book CHORUS was selected by Kazim Ali as the winner of Omnidawn Press’ 1st/2nd Book Award. Her work is the subject of a front-page feature in the Los Angeles Times\, an Oregon Art Beat profile\, an entry in the Oregon Encyclopedia\, a feature in Poetry Daily\, and has been recognized by numerous grants\, fellowships\, and residencies. Her next book\, Light / Remains\, is a hybrid of poetry\, essay\, and art\, out in 2025 from Bored Wolves Press. She founded the Art + Ecology program at the Pacific Northwest College of Art and helped found the backcountry artist residency Signal Fire.

SUMMARY:Canopy Time Art Walk/Roll/Ride
DESCRIPTION:If you pay attention\, you can tell time by the forest canopy—twigs and seeds\, branches and leaves marking seasons with color\, fullness\, sway.  — Abby Braithwaite\, A Portrait of the Artist as a Crone TreeJoin us for the first of a series of monthly (ish) drop-in walks/rolls/rides on Plas Newydd Farm. Hosted by Abby Braithwaite and David Morgan (and some surprise guests)\, these adventures will give us the chance to explore some of the most beautiful places on the farm\, and will provide a deeper opportunity to feel the rhythms of the land\, observe the comings and goings of migratory birds\, watch the bud and bloom of native and invasive plants\, swat mosquitoes\, and dodge raindrops!Part nature journaling\, part phenological record-keeping\, these informal explorations will be a great way to spend more time out on the land than some of our workshops allow. June is a beautiful time here\, before the heat of the summer sets in\, and hopefully before the mosquitoes hatch. Bring your journal\, your sketchbook\, your camera and your senses. And maybe a bottle of water!Asking for a suggested payment of $10-$20\, which we will collect on the day of the event. No preregistration necessary\, unless you need directions!
