Writing Workshop

Join Pam Houston & Amy Irvine for a long, late autumn weekend of walking, writing, stargazing and animal appreciation at Canyon of the Ancients Guest Ranch. We will walk and talk and sit together. There will be prompts and strategies to get the elements of the physical world we love on the page. We’ll soak in the surroundings and open ourselves to the deepest emotional truths we hold inside. Bring your hiking boots, laptops, or pen and journal. Bring your willingness to be with your whole self, and in community. Plan to get some vital pieces of writing started, words that will honor the truth of you, the planet, and all of its diversities. Space is limited to 16 participants! To claim your workshop spot, email pamlhouston@me.com Once we confirm availability, you’ll be directed to make a $325 nonrefundable deposit via Venmo. A second payment of $325 will be due by September 15th. *Includes a catered Navajo taco dinner on Friday evening and beverages during classtime.
