upcoming workshops and eventsONGOING: R & R Retreat JOURNALING and ARTS Workshops @ Kripalu Center, Stockbridge, MA
Weekly memoir, collage, poetry, nature writing and singing classes offered to registered Kripalu guests. Private day-long writing retreat: in your home
please send a message via the contact page for details about hosting a private writing retreat in your home for friends. like a house concert with pens. ![]() ![]() why and how I teachAs a creative writing adjunct professor at Rutgers University (2002-2010), I taught fiction and non-fiction courses to students with rich stories to tell. I now serve as writing faculty for Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health and the Berkshire Festival of Women Writers; the stories I hear continue to hold fascination.
In addition to traditional writing workshops in fiction and non-fiction (in which members read one another's writing over the course of several meetings), I offer non-traditional classes (day, weekend or week-long). Please scroll down for details. I believe in creating a safe, supportive environment in which writers can feel free to be messy and bold. I believe in honest kindness and kind honesty. I like to make jokes. I can't promise they'll be funny. I'll never force you to share words that need to remain private. I consider it my privilege to hold space for your creative efforts. For more information, please get in touch via the CONTACT page. ![]() Local Authors Day 2014
testimonialsKind endorsements from class participants:
"I recently took your class, The Traveling Mindset, which was terrific! Your workshop offered me permission to write. Thank you for your kind guidance." -Amy, Kripalu Center "Your workshop has helped me stay connected to myself—I’m now writing every day. I think I can speak for all of us [in class] when I say you are a great mentor. Thank you for your kindness and care." –Elaine, Kripalu Center "I like that you’re in the world, Lara Tupper." "I had a breakthrough, thanks to you-- I truly enjoyed your weekend workshop. It was calming, centering, inspiring and affirming. It was exactly what I needed." - Kathleen, Genesis Center "Thank you again for your wonderful and evocative workshop on Gratitude Journaling. The freedom and trust with which people wrote and shared their work is a testament to the safe atmosphere that you created. I will remain grateful for the experience and for the inspiration. Many thanks again." -Gloria, Kripalu Center "Thanks for a great class - it was one of the highlights of the weekend for me. What made it nice was the gentle community building, the short and easy 'go-around-the- room' at the start, and brief meditative centering before the Haiku Walk." -David, Kripalu Center "Thank you for the workshops you offered today. I appreciate you bringing your gift to others and I resonate with the energy you share in your teaching. Best to you!" - Janel, Kripalu Center "Everyone was singing your praises! You had a great crowd. You have such a lovely down to earth sincere presence and open manner, it was a pleasure to meet you in person and to be a part of your workshop." "Lara is tough but tender."

"We loved the collage workshop - in fact, [my wife] has done it a number of times since then with close friends and her sister. Breakthrough stuff. Thanks for opening that door for her!" - Ned Leavitt, founder, The Ned Leavitt Literary Agency "See what R and R at Kripalu and one hour with you can do? Thanks, Lara, for initiating this first of many writing journeys that will find their way to the world of readers. I hope my story can change the path of even one person with HIV who feels they may not survive. Respectfully, Bill" (William's piece on living with HIV has just been published.) "Lara created a positive atmosphere and I enjoyed the conversation she facilitated!" "Lara is a world class writer and teacher." "[Lara] is an inspirational presenter." “Lara Tupper is a teacher with the ability to bring forth the very best in her students. In only a two hour session at Kripalu, Lara turned a room full of people (about 72) into confident writers – pros and novices alike. We wrote from the heart, soul and depth of past and present feelings. The sharing of our stories made all of us believe in our own creativity, abilities and in ourselves.” - Berkshire Festival of Women Writers representative Lorrin Krouss "The writing class was my favorite. She is amazing!" "Ms. Tupper, who presented the writing workshop on New Year's Eve, ran a fantastic session and stimulated an urge to write fiction that I'm very excited about."

Good news for Barry fans! 5.4.07 NOVELTOWN interview, complete with Barry Manilow pix! http://www.nlbelardes.com/blogger/2007/05/lara-tupper-talks-about-her-novel.html Here's a teaser: Noveltown: I noticed on your website that you are a member of the Barry Manilow International Fan Club. Was that for professional reasons or are you a true Manilow fan? Lara: We Fanilows need to stick together! I'm absolutely serious about my BMIFC membership--there's a long, sad tale that follows. I'll try to make it short: My Nana bought my first Barry album when I was five. As a 'tween I had a Barry poster (white jumpsuit, feathered hair, medallion) and actually kissed it every night. I had a bumper sticker (BARRY M. LOVES LARA T.) and somehow convinced myself that he'd sent it personally (again--my Nana). And then, in 1993, I worked at Interlochen Arts Camp in Michigan and SANG with him! He needed a back up choir for a concert there, the very last verse of "I Write the Songs" at the end of the show. So I sang the song and that was it--I never even met him backstage. I've since been to Vegas to see him with my mom and to Madison Square Garden to see him here in NYC. He's my Myspace friend, which is nice, but I'm still dying to meet him. I've even thought about enlisting Oprah—she has a page on her site called Do You Want To Meet A Hot Celebrity?. (If you apply and have a convincing enough case, she'll help out.) I think Barry would enjoy the book—he was a lounger himself in the early days.
