Residency Workshops

In addition to our online offerings, Mimbres School offers residency workshops for scholars and academics. Come visit a peaceful, quiet high-desert setting to develop your writing with the assistance and support of the School’s faculty and staff.

Our residential workshop program includes the following components:

Workshop

Prior to arrival, the resident will present a piece of in-progress writing in an online workshop with the School’s faculty. Our workshop format is formally structured and aimed at giving presenters high-quality, critical feedback on their work in progress.

Residency

Following the workshop, the resident will travel to the Mimbres Valley for a 6-night stay at our in-person campus where they will revise the work in progress in response to feedback received at the workshop in consultation with our residential faculty.

Pedagogy Practicum

During their stay on campus, the resident will have the opportunity to lead an online reading group session on a text related to their work in progress and receive pedagogy feedback from faculty.

The total cost of the program is $2,000. This cost includes up to ten prepared meals (up to 2/day) as well as the aid of a personal assistant who will ensure that the resident’s time is free for writing. If residents wish to stay for a longer period, this can be accomodated subject to availability (inquire for rates).

Our residential workshop program is available only to those with completed PhDs and/or equivalent scholarly accomplishment. The program is NOT available to current PhD students at this time. The primary reason for this is that the School feels strongly that programs for current PhD students ought to be funded, which we are presently unable to offer. In the future we hope to offer programs for PhD students as well. If you would like to make a donation that would help fund such programs, please contact us.
