Kindling Words West meets for a seven-day artist immersion experience in the spring at Whidbey Institute. We take the ferry just north of Seattle and settle in among the tall northwestern pines for a week that will nourish our bodies and our creative spirits.

The late spring dates will offer us many more opportunities to explore the outdoors and the exquisite forest paths that are all around the Whidbey community, and the beaches on the island.
