"I bought 4 copies to give as gifts for Christmas and everyone who has read it has been just as enthralled as I. She is truly gifted in giving us the ability to find beauty in ourselves...." B. Harris (Amazon review)
"Wow, what a concept! It's not often that a book makes me smile--really SMILE--like this one did. Sara Sharpe's story of the freedom she found in being true to herself is one that will resonate with any woman who finds herself living for everyone but the person she sees in the mirror." J. Barclay (Amazon review)

The Arete Initiative for Women
A 6-month program for a unique tribe of women dedicated to the pursuit of personal excellence
Beginning in the fall of 2014, the Arete Institute is suspending all other initiatives to focus on THE ARETE INIATIVE FOR WOMEN: an unprecedented, 6-month program (including an initial, four-week intensive) for a small and select group of women interested in making a quantum leap forward in their personal and professional lives. The program will be led by Arete Institute founder Sara Sharpe.
Radically transform your life on every level: physically, environmentally, vocationally, mentally/emotionally, and spiritually (whatever that means to you). The program is intense and challenging, but the results will be life changing.
The ARETE INITIATIVE accepts no more than three women per month into the program to ensure that every woman gets the individual attention necessary to identify and put into place the habits that will enable her to become the best version of herself. During the pilot program (Fall, 2014) Sara will work directly with each participant. More info HERE.
