Write Your Story!


  • The (B) Ruppe 807 4th Street SW Albuquerque, NM 87102 USA (map)

2-day workshop to write our stories of life:  wellness and illness, in honor of the The Ruppe pharmacy and the work of Maclovia Zamora.  This is a free workshop! 

Writing lowers blood pressure, reduces stress, and helps us make sense of our experiences.  Sharing our stories builds communities.

Each day we'll read short stories and learn about crafting our own words.  And we'll work on writing and revising.

First workshop:   Saturday, February 22  at 1-4pm and Sunday, February 23 1-4 pm

Second workshop will take place Saturday, February 29 and Sunday, March 1, 1-4 pm

Bring your stories of life, Barelas, The Ruppe, community to share.

This workshop is funded by a grant, no charge to participants!
