Announcing our new Art of Exploration Series of workshops for adventurers, overlanders, and travelers who love to explore the world—near and far—and record their experiences and observations through words, photographs, and / or art.
February 26 – 29, 2024 join Jonathan and Roseann Hanson for our new Writing Workshop in the beautiful Sonoran Desert north of Tucson, Arizona.
This unique workshop is for anyone who wants to improve their writing—non-fiction travel and adventure, long or short-form fiction, journaling, technical, or scientific—with two experienced authors and editors with over 40 years of experience in those fields.
The workshop will include:
Daily instruction in specific writing skills as well as hints and tips for the business of writing for those who want to go freelance;
Daily writing assignments focused on building skills and creating fluency in new forms of writing—even if you are a science writer you will benefit from pushing your “artistic” writing, or if you are a creative writer you will likewise benefit from stretching your science or technical skills;
Daily feedback from the instructors;
Sharing work with others.
Accommodation (ranch house or camping) and meals from lunch on the 26th through lunch on the 29th)
WHERE:
The setting is a private ranch along Aravaipa Creek about 90 minutes north of Tucson, Arizona. These are ancestral lands of the Apache people, who used the fertile riverside valley for seasonal crops.
The Hansons wrote their way across the Australian outback in 2017 and 2018.
Your accommodations are comfortable but not high luxury—think 1970s big ranch house set in a grassy meadow, with a burbling creek running alongside; meals will be included. There are three private room options; the rest are shared, up to three people (these rooms have 3-5 beds in them). There are two bathrooms shared by all participants in the ranch house.
There will be a camping option if you have your own vehicle and camp setup (limited to 6 vehicles); there is a separate bathroom for campers.
We’ll be able to host up to 21 participants because of the camping option.
COST:
$995 per person, shared room
$695 per person, camping
$175 private room supplemental cost (only 3 available)
