Come to Abruzzo, an enchanting and virtually
untraveled region of Italy, to experience a step
back in centuries and a step forward in awareness.
Each summer a thoughtful writing community forms
as we meet daily in a workshop setting, learn about the
culture of Abruzzo, enjoy evening meals together, and
explore the world within an ancient Medici burgh
as well as the pristine landscape surrounding it.
Give yourself the gift of time and seclusion to create literature
from your life experience and to engage in a sense of personal
restoration as you witness Santo Stefano’s ambitious effort
recovering from the 2009 earthquake in nearby L’Aquila.
Italy, in Other Words offers summer workshops located in Italy’s authentic past where culture is carefully preserved. Kathryn Abajian and Helen Free founded the program in 2009 as a means to support Santo Stefano’s revitalizing culture. Kathryn continues the program today, offering intellectual and aesthetic inspiration found only off well-traveled paths–with great food and good company.
