Join bestselling author Elizabeth Gilbert, the “rock star author” (Oprah Winfrey) behind Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic, for an unforgettable evening of storytelling, reflection, and healing. In this intimate talk, Gilbert explores love, loss, and the transformative power of narrative through her forthcoming memoir All the Way to the River, a deeply personal account of her relationship with her late partner, Rayya Elias.
Tickets include a signed copy of the memoir (available for pickup at the event). Praised by Barbara Kingsolver as a “straight-up storyteller” and lauded by The New York Times for her “intelligence, wit, and colloquial exuberance,” Gilbert’s candid and heartfelt reflections invite audiences to explore connection, truth, and transcendence in the face of profound grief.
Presented by UCSB Arts & Lectures, this is a rare opportunity to experience one of today’s most compelling voices in literature and personal growth.
