The Stories We Tell June 18-28, 2026 • Patmos, Greece
Come gather with four masterful storytellers—Barbara Kingsolver, Ada Limón, Silas House, and Safiya Sinclair–for a memorable GoodWorld Journey on the radiant and storied Greek island of Patmos. We’ll explore the power of words and narratives as expressed through novels, memoirs, poetry, personal essays, and creative nonfiction—as well as a variety of hybrid forms of storytelling.
Through lively talks, conversations, and creative exercises, our accomplished Salon guest artists will share their experiences, insights, and tips on mining one’s life experiences and story—and exploring the lives of others—to uncover universal human truths. They’ll discuss their writing process, delve into how they shaped their narratives, and offer advice on story and writing craft.
Born From The Simple Act of gathering
In 1989, Jenny Yancey and Dan Siegel invited friends and changemakers to meet on the Greek island of Patmos to share ideas, creativity, and purpose while experiencing a refresh in a radiant setting. What started as an intimate exchange of conversation and connection became a 25-year tradition.
