Writers Roundup with Lesley Poling-Kempes- G25080301
Our online booking system is down. Please call 505.685.4881 or 505.685.1019 to register for this workshop. We apologize for the inconvenience.
A retreat/workshop for experienced, published writers who want to dig deeper into a book project or explore and organize a new one, and to reconnect with the writing life while part of a community of writers at Ghost Ranch.
The purpose of this focused time in the inspiring mountains and light of Ghost Ranch will be to reinvigorate your writing. To wake generative processes that you might have lost touch with. To find new access points into your work via community with other writers, via the metaphors of Nature.
This week, you will explore new works you had not imagined and leave the Ranch with new energy to continue. There will be two optional daily group workshops and one mandatory session per day. Critique sessions with Robin and/or Lesley will be arranged throughout the week.
Participants will bring their own preferred work essentials – laptop, iPad, paper, notebooks, pencils, pens etc. Most Ghost Ranch rooms have a desk and chair. There are also places and spaces to write around Ghost Ranch including the library and shaded portals on various public buildings. Wifi is available but spotty.
