Storia 2: Oct 20-24, 2017
An abundance of applicants so qualified and fabulous it humbled me.. winnowed down to eight stellar souls. Seven came from across the US, and one from London.
Our astute publisher Tim McKee shared his profound insights by the fireplace.
One night under the open sky, an unforgettable impromptu talent show of dance and song.

Selected Commentary:
"As a teacher/guide myself, I was continually struck by your keen balance of empathy and rigor as you guided each of us through our individual journeys. While my time at Storia will mark the beginning of book writing for me, I believe it marks a season of personal investment as well. I could not be happier with my choice to attend."
"Storia pushed me to re-think my book: I know what I need to do now. I really didn't expect to get so much out of it. And the one-on-one session with Ariane: mind blown."
"Storia Summit lends warmth and camaraderie around a process that may be long and lonely at times. I feel excited and positive about being able to create a book that tells a story worth sharing."
