In this Sacred Writing Circle with Gianluca Avanzato, we will tap into the deep wells of our compassion and water the gardens of the heart. We will name our grief without trying to confine it, honor our pain without glorifying it, and hold the vastness of our emotional world without getting lost in it.

Through guided meditations, creative exercises, and meaningful conversations, we will co-create a sacred space for spiritual and personal growth. You’ll emerge from this supportive experience with several pieces of original writing to share, refine, or treasure.

Gianluca Avanzato leads spiritual wellness programs and offers 1:1 creative journeying sessions, a unique blend of spiritual accompaniment and life coaching. He holds a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School and a Diploma in Interreligious Studies from the Angelicum in Rome. Following the teachings of Ron Young, Gianluca integrates his training with Spiritual Constellations and Spiritual Healing into his teaching and facilitation.

Everyone is welcome: no religious/spiritual affiliation nor creative writing experience necessary. A warm welcome to LGBTQIA+ folks as well as those who have felt left out or cast out by traditional religious institutions. This is a pluralistic and welcoming space bound by mutual respect, care, and gentleness.

Please note: This Sacred Writing Circle is a gathering for creativity, connection, and conversation. This is not a therapy group and will not be facilitated as a clinical or therapeutic service. This is not for people in acute crisis.
