Writers Roundtable

The Writers Roundtable will be on Saturday, Dec. 21 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Orcas Library.

The topic is: “Leaving and Arriving: Reflections On Our Journeys to Orcas.” Rachel Newcombe and JoEllen Moldoff are the facilitators.

What did it feel like for you to leave and make a life on Orcas? What happens in the ineffable space between leaving, arriving and feeling at home? Group members will engage in writing exercises that enable them to articulate the experience of leaving one’s home of origin and arriving on Orcas Island.

“No two people will have the same story but what we all share is the experience of confronting the unknown,” say organizers.
