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

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.

Planning notes – PLEASE READ:

• Canyon of the Ancients Guest Ranch is located in a remote area, in McElmo Canyon, outside of Canyon of the Ancients National Monument, west of Cortez, Colorado. So travel takes some planning. Closest airport is in Durango, CO.
• The cabins are rustic, yet upscale and gorgeous. There is camping nearby in Canyon of the Ancients National Monument and other lodging options in or near Cortez.
• Come prepared with your own beverages and snacks and ingredients to make meals (there will be one catered taco dinner, one potluck dinner, and we will provide coffee and tea during workshops). 
• If you’re not staying in a cabin with a kitchen, there is a community kitchen and bathroom in the ranch’s Rascal’s Hideout, where we meet. 
• Rascal’s IS HEATED BY AN OLD WOOD STOVE, which might not be suitable for those with asthma.
• Come prepared for both heat and cold–it could be very hot or even snowing!
• Sorry, while pets are often welcome on ranch, we won’t be able to accommodate them during our time together.
