Writing Ourselves Human
2027-10-14 18:30 - 20:00, 2027-10-21 18:30 - 20:00, 2027-10-28 18:30 - 20:00, 2027-11-04 18:30 - 20:00, 2027-11-11 18:30 - 20:00, 2027-11-18 18:30 - 20:00, 2027-11-25 18:30 - 20:00, 2027-12-02 18:30 - 20:00 and 1 more date | Heart Spring Health – Dandelion Group Room, 7886 SE 13th Ave, Portland, OR, 97202, United States
Writing can be a beautiful way to express ourselves from the inside out – to explore creativity, play, grieve, heal, and celebrate. We can use words to go past and beneath words. We can honor memories, create worlds, describe things just as they are or transform them into what was unknown until the words flowed onto the page. We can connect deeply with others by sharing words on the page or spoken out loud.
Writing Ourselves Human is a class for writers at all levels of their journey. Whether you are experienced or are just dipping one toe in the water you are equally welcome. We will focus on generative writing (letting words flow onto the page). We will not critique one another’s work, although supportive feedback is available for those who want it.
You are welcome to write in any form – fiction, poetry, essay, journaling, even song. All you need is a notebook and a writing implement (or laptop), some curiosity, and you.
In this ongoing series, we’ll explore themes related to our common humanity, like:

Belonging
Embodiment
Impermanence
Play

Ruth will provide prompts (phrases, poems, images, music) to inspire your real-time writing. If you wish (and only if you wish – everything is by invitation and choice), you can share your writing out loud and invite group members to provide feedback about what is strong in your work. Any feedback offered is about the writing, not the writer, and is offered “as if” the writing is fiction. This creates a sense of safety and mutual support that many people find therapeutic.

Meet Ruth

Ruth is a writer, facilitator, psychotherapist, and Tai Chi instructor. She certified as an Amherst Writers and Artists (AWA) facilitator in 2002 after experiencing the healing qualities of a writing circle. She loves this approach because it is non-hierarchical, active, and supportive of new writing. Pat Schneider, founder of AWA says it this way:
“Whether your purpose for writing is artistic expression, communication with friends and family, the healing of the inner life, or achieving public recognition for your art – the foundation is the same: the claiming of yourself as an artist/writer and the strengthening of your writing voice through practice, study, and helpful response from other writers.”
Ruth has also facilitated several Write Around Portland groups and writes one-on-one with veterans through a program supported by the Wounded Warrior Project.
She is a published writer (poetry, flash fiction, creative non-fiction).
If you have any questions about this class series to help you decide if you’d like to join, please feel free to contact Ruth by email at Beautifulwordstogether@gmail.com.

A Saturday Yin Yoga Series
Welcome to this beginner-friendly Saturday Yin yoga class series hosted by Heather! This a slow, calming practice designed to help you unwind and reset.
This yin yoga class is a gentle, floor-based style of yoga where poses are held for longer periods (typically a few minutes at a time) to deeply stretch the connective tissues, improve flexibility, and encourage stillness in both body and mind.
In this class, we’ll settle into simple, supported shapes and focus on relaxed breathing, allowing gravity and time to do the work rather than effort or intensity. You’ll be invited to go at your own pace, with options to adjust or come out of poses whenever you need. This is a space to slow down, release tension, and cultivate a sense of ease—perfect for easing out of the day and leaving feeling grounded, open, and deeply restored.
All levels welcome!

Hosted By Ava Gettinger, ND
Health is more than just disease. It is vitality, resiliency, and capacity. My perspective on the healing journey is that it provides one of the greatest opportunities to get to know ourselves and align with our purpose. When you make the effort to know yourself well, you can more easily adapt to the world around you and become less burdened by its numerous challenges.
Becoming conscious in this way allows you to recognize what habits & environments are serving you and those that are not. In turn, this supports your vitality on an emotional, spiritual and physical level, leading to an ability to integrate parts of yourself that were once challenging to face.
