An Evening Of Insightful & Empowering Conversation

Two fierce and empowered women take to the Royce Hall stage for one special evening of conversation and insight. After her 2006 memoir 'Eat, Pray, Love' spent 199 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list, Elizabeth M. Gilbert parlayed her fledgeling success into a stellar writing career spawning a feature film of her debut, as well as six other books. Her latest, Big Magic, is based on Gilbert's unique perspective as a creator, allowing readers into her creative process so that they may find inspiration in the author's curiosity, attitudes, approaches, habits and cheerful pragmatism.

Award-winning writer Cheryl Strayed hit her stride with Wild, her own best-selling memoir based on her life-altering 1000 mile solo trek on the Pacific Crest Trail. Charting loss, recovery and self-realisation her harrowing, touching and often hilarious journey struck a chord with women across the globe. Alongside Gilbert, Strayed will challenge the audience to embrace everyday challenges to blossoming creatively with courage, bravery and an adventurous spirit.
