Join the El Paso Matters Book Club for a writing workshop, taught by El Paso author and playwright Octavio Solis. Solis is the author of Retablos: Stories From a Life Lived Along the Border, the latest pick of the El Paso Matters Book Club.

The workshop is designed to enable participants to connect with their living narratives through a process involving relaxation, meditation and visualization.

“I believe the most significant stories are already inscribed in our consciousness, passed down through the DNA of our ancestors’ secret histories,” Solis said. “Through a process of visualization, I hope to draw these narratives out and onto the page during the length of the exercise.”

The workshop will last about three hours with a brief intermission. The workshop will also include time to share writing with other participants in a safe and uncritical environment.Writing tools and snacks will be provided.

The writing workshop is hosted by the El Paso Matters Book Club. Click here to join our book club.
