Sacred Writing Circle: In Dialogue with Source

“You talk to God like I do. I think you know the same secrets that I do.” - Lana Del Rey

Where do you find yourself in the long human tradition of dialoguing with the divine? In this Sacred Writing Circle, facilitated by Gianluca Avanzato, we will encounter mystical poetry that lifts the veil between Creator and Creation and offers insight into our own sacred conversations with the universe. Through guided meditations, tailored writing prompts, and gentle sharing, we will explore our connection to the cosmos. You’ll emerge from this experience with several original written pieces to refine or share or treasure.

This Sacred Writing Circle is facilitated by Gianluca Avanzato, a writer, artist, musician, and teacher from Oneonta, New York who holds a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School and a Diploma in Interreligious Studies. In his work, including 1:1 creativity coaching, Gianluca emphasizes process over product, transformation over transaction, and fluidity over forcefulness.

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.
