Writing Ourselves Home

In this creative writing workshop, we will ask: how can a writing practice help us come home to ourselves, to live more deeply, with more attention and more awareness of the present moment? How can we focus on writing what is “true” instead of trying to be good? How might writing become a wellspring, a source of joy, and a nourishing practice through the ups and downs of life?

Our time will include guided prompts (in a variety of genres), short readings and discussions, reflective workshops, and unhurried moments in the stunning landscape of Ghost Ranch. We’ll write both in community and on our own. Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of their personal writing rhythms and practices, as well as resources to support their writing beyond our time together. This workshop welcomes all skill levels—no prior creative writing experience necessary.
