Hermoso curso. Ilian logró contagiarme de su pasion por los libros. Me gusto su simpleza y su sinceridad al alertarnos sobre disfrutar primero nosotros de lo que creamos y de no intelectualizar demasiado el contenido. Gracias Ilian. Soy de Argentina, donde puedo conseguir tu libro Aracne y la telaraña de los sueños?
