Our friends over at @literaryhub are discussing a topic very near and dear to our hearts... "Why Literary Festivals Still Matter." As Garcia writes, "The time we devote to others in person has shrunk, almost without our noticing. A festival interrupts that trend. It reclaims time and space for presence... It is a gesture of trust, a vote of confidence in the idea that conversation still matters, that culture is worth protecting, and that community is possible even in hostile conditions."

There wasn`t a dry eye in the house at this #SVWC2025 talk! During his tenure as the Surgeon General of the United States, Vivek H. Murthy, MD became, in effect, our national healer. In a soft but strong voice, he spoke about the country’s maladies like addiction, depression, and violence, and he made the passionate case that loneliness was the contributor to many of those ills, including our over-dependence on social media. That message is at the heart of his book, Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection. In conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Andrea Elliott (@andreafelliott), Murthy spoke about the book, about his own bouts of loneliness, and how we can each learn to be a healer in our own lives. @murthyvivekhallagere

“Sun Valley really rejuvenated us in so many ways, tangible and otherwise. And personally, as a writer, it felt miraculous and life-affirming.”
