Join best-selling author/memoirist Hillary Carlip and four-time Emmy nominated/Golden Globe winning comedy writer Maxine Lapiduss for a special weekend writing workshop at Double DD Ranch, a magical and inspiring 27-acre retreat space in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Hillary and Maxx will help you excavate and explore some long-held, perhaps fossilized perspectives on family relationships and dynamics, seeing them anew and mining those feelings, ideas, and stories for the valuable and faceted gold nuggets they contain--revealing a new and freeing take on your past.
Join our intimate (limited to 12 participants) gathering for fun and inspiring one-of-a-kind exercises, writing prompts, and individual and group feedback to help you powerfully tap into familial stories to identify and shape your own specific and authentic voice in your writing.
In addition to offering helpful tools, this fresh and fun workshop, for writers of all levels and genres, will include fantastic folks you’ll want to know for the rest of your lives, nourishing and delish lunches featuring Maxine’s famous homemade strawberry-rhubarb pie, lots of laughs and maybe a tear or two (Kleenex provided), and the petting of very large animals that live next door including buffalos and yaks. For real!
And you can experience all of this fabulousness for the discounted price of just $499. Which basically covers the cost of lunch, snacks, beverages, and cleaning of buffalo poop.
Speaking of discounts… price is just $399 for anyone who has participated in prior Putting the Me in Memoir workshops.
August 2 and 3, Saturday and Sunday, from 10AM – 5PM

REVIEWS FROM OUR LAST MEMOIR WORKSHOP
"The writing went deep, wide, and wild. Watching the New Mexico sunset helped in a gorgeous, ranch-y kind of way, too. And the yummy, healthy food kept us fueled, alert, and ready to craft some more gems. Thanks to Hillary and Maxine we found bits of ourselves and shared them with new loving friends. And did we ever laugh! I miss every one of you." —Mary
"Thank you for creating a wonderful experience (and space!) and facilitating such meaningful work. It was a privilege to meet everyone and be a part of it." —Judy
"The camp you always wanted to go to except with good food. We LOVE Double DD Ranch! " —Cyndy
“Still digesting the magnificence of our writing retreat at DD Ranch and the profound insights and generosity of the retreat leaders and participants. What a gift it is to unplug and write."
