Glen Workshops

The Glen Workshop, sponsored by Image Journal, is an innovative and enriching program combining the best elements of a workshop, an arts festival, and a conference. Situated in the gently sloping foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Glen West is equal parts creative workshop, arts festival, and spiritual retreat. Taught by nationally acclaimed authors and artists, the daily workshops offer close attention to attendees of all levels. Afternoons and evenings feature readings, lectures, concerts, and worship services incorporating the arts. Like its sponsor, Image, the Glen Workshop is grounded in a Christian perspective, but its tone is informal and hospitable to all spiritual wayfarers. The Glen Workshop has now accrued eighteen years’ worth of rich traditions and friendships, some continuing from the earliest days and some that have just begun in the last few years. Returners and newcomers alike enjoy the rich and rewarding community they find at the Glen.

Faculty members have been chosen not only because of their excellence as writers or artists, but also because they are sensitive and effective teachers. They work extremely hard to maintain a positive atmosphere in the classroom and they strive to give everyone—whatever their level of achievement may be—the kind of feedback they need.
