SOLILO · A WORLD OF STORIES
Stories, shared with care.
Receive a true story — sent quietly to your inbox.
Share a true story — whether you'd like to be heard, or want it shared with others. We'd love to receive it. <3
WHAT SOLILO IS
A quiet practice of stories and art.
Each month, one true story is shared by someone real. It arrives in your inbox. You can simply receive it. Or, if it stirs something, respond by creating: words, image, sound, taste, motion. Whatever the story moves through you.
The next month, we share some of what came back, alongside a new story. A small, continuous rhythm.
Host a Solilo gathering.
There is something beautiful about gathering with your people and exchanging stories and art.
If you would like to host your own Solilo gathering, I would love to get on a phone call with you and provide support and resources to help create a beautiful evening.
What a Solilo gathering looks like
-
01
the beginning
Story.
Someone shares a true story from their life. No more than ten minutes when read aloud. Simple or complex, joyful or heavy — the only thing that matters is that it's as honest as memory allows.
-
02
the response
Art.
The story passes to another — no context, just the words. They sit with it, and then, in their own way, they answer. A painting, a poem, a song, a dish, a sculpture, a dance.
-
03
the table
Gathering.
When the practice is brought to a table, each person reads aloud the story they originally submitted and the person who received it presents the piece they made in response.
-
04
the unfolding
Witness.
A story becomes something new in another’s hands and the room holds the witnessing. This is how every story has meaning, and how art quietly brings us closer together.
