In this Sacred Writing Circle with Gianluca Avanzato, we’ll turn to writing as a means to move blocked energy and explore our depths. Through guided meditations, creative exercises, and meaningful conversations, we will co-create a compassionate 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 holds a Master of Divinity from Harvard Divinity School and a Diploma in Interreligious Studies from the Angelicum in Rome. Based in Oneonta, Gianluca holds spiritual wellness programs, teaches Italian at SUNY Oneonta, and leads 1:1 creative journeying sessions, a unique blend of spiritual accompaniment and life coaching.

HML Writers Group
Saturdays beginning January 11
1:30-3:30
The goal for HML Writers Group is to help writers be comfortable with themselves, with their own styles and their own needs. We’re not all novelists, or poets, or short story writers. We’re not all speed writers; trying to go-go-go on a prompt for ten minutes isn’t everybody’s writing style. And that’s all right. Writers bring what they’re working on to read out loud, or pass out copies for critique. More often than not, most of the meeting time is devoted to the act of writing, with timers set and prompts given as a springboard for a story or poem to take flight.
To register, email hmlwriters@gmail.com.
Genealogy Group
Meets Twice a Month
Tuesday, April 9, 2:00-4:00pm

All levels of experience are welcome.
Laptops will be provided or your can bring your own.
Show & Tell Book Club
Meets Monthly
Last Thursday, 5:30-7:00pm
A no pressure book club where you get to choose!
Are you interested in joining a book club, but aren’t sure you would be interested in the selected titles? At the HML Show and Tell Book Club, you get to choose what you read! Each month we’ll pick a theme, you’ll choose a book fitting that theme, and at our meetings we’ll discuss what we read!
What if I don’t finish the book?
That’s ok! Even if you haven’t finished reading your chosen book you can still come to the meeting and discuss what you’ve read so far!
Can I talk about a book I’ve read previously if it fits the theme?
Oh course! We want to hear all about what you’ve read, it doesn’t matter when you read it!
Do I have to talk about what I’ve read?
If you would feel more comfortable just sitting back and listen to what others have to say about their books that’s completely fine!
Upcoming Themes:
June- Kindness
July- Summer
