Una serata dedicata al pensiero, alla letteratura e alla crescita personale. Nel salotto culturale di **[Vatican Privé](https://vaticanprive.com/)**, a pochi passi dal Vaticano. ## **Se la cultura non cambiasse la tua vita, a cosa servirebbe?** La domanda guida della serata invita a riflettere sul ruolo della cultura nella trasformazione dell’individuo. Il dialogo esplorerà come letteratura, filosofia e arte possano contribuire alla costruzione di una struttura mentale capace di superare limiti personali e condizionamenti sociali. ## **Il significato del Dantedì** La scelta del **25 marzo** non è casuale: secondo molti studiosi, è il giorno in cui Dante colloca simbolicamente l’inizio del viaggio narrato nella *Divina Commedia* nel 1300. Un viaggio che rappresenta il passaggio dall’oscurità alla consapevolezza. Il 25 marzo può diventare anche per te un punto di partenza: un momento per fermarti, riflettere e scegliere di compiere il prossimo passo nel tuo percorso di crescita. ## **Maggiori informazioni** https://vaticanprive.com/eventi/dantedi-roma

# HuCon Roma — 27 March 2026 [https://humansinconversation.com/#signup](https://humansinconversation.com/#signup) HuCon (Humans in Conversation) is an intimate, guided storytelling gathering coming to Rome on 27 March 2026, built around one simple but powerful idea: **cities need to pause and listen to how people are really doing.** ## What happens at the table? A small group of people — typically around 8 — come together in a safe, private space to respond to one shared question that genuinely matters to those in the room. For the Rome edition, that question cuts right to the heart of expat and transplant experience: > *"You came to Rome to begin again. But what did it cost your well-being?"* The conversation explores **reinvention and belonging in the capital** — the hidden costs of starting over, the loneliness of not quite fitting in, and the quiet resilience it takes to build a life in a new city. ## What makes it different? * **Small group** — intimate enough for real honesty * **Confidential** — no cameras, no social performance * **No agenda** — just honest, often anonymous stories * **Food is part of it** — participants share a dish meaningful to their community * **Your voice matters beyond the room** — stories are audio-recorded and later published on the *Humans in Conversation* Spotify podcast, contributing to a global archive that helps cities and researchers design more human responses in an AI-shaped world ## Who is it for? Anyone who moved to Rome chasing something — a fresh start, a dream, a relationship, an escape — and has never quite had the space to talk honestly about what that journey has cost them. No performance required. No cameras watching. **HuCon is where the city finally stops to listen.**

**Coworking for writers in Rome!** Join us for some focused writing time at [casadante](https://maps.app.goo.gl/gA6w2J8cD36giNF38?g_st=ic) near Piazza Vittorio Emanuele in Esquilino. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in Rome. When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, we will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries! **A note about the format** We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing.

March 12, March 19, March 26, and the Finals April 2nd. Meet and Greet format....show up after 7pm, pay your $15 at the cash register, get your wine glass, and enjoy. I will get a table reserved for the group. Remember, you may bring in your own food or takeout. Attendance is your agreement to the Group's Waiver of Liability terms.

**Complex Trauma Support Group** Our group is intended for survivors of complex trauma. If you are here, it’s likely that so much of who you are and what you have experienced in this life is actually invisible to most people––to family, society, coworkers, and the people who are around you. We are a peer-led group of survivors creating opportunities for ourselves and others to share our experiences, share support, and build relationships in kind community together. Survivor experiences might include: child sexual abuse, incest, child trafficking, and other experiences of people living with traumatic dissociation and complex PTSD. **What to expect at your first meeting:** Currently, we are offering a bi-monthly in person group at 2:00pm on the first and third Sunday of the month. The only criterion for joining the group is that you are a survivor of trauma wishing to have more kindness in your own life and share kindness with others, and that you agree to practice to group’s relational agreements available for view here: https://www.kindgroups.com/agreements. Joining the group is free of charge. We ask that new people connect with us for 30 minutes on the phone or on zoom before coming to their first group, so that we can determine together that we are a good fit. Our meetings last approximately 90 minutes. Participants are never required to share. You’re also welcome to choose a pseudonym and you will never be asked for private information. You are welcome to leave at any time. The kindness that survivors can share when among others who have survived similar childhood experiences is something we rarely get to experience. Time spent with others who understand even a little bit more about us is a relief. Our hope is to help ourselves and others experience that we are not alone. We wish for our efforts to be a cause of kindness in our own lives and the lives of each other. You can read more about the groups at www.kindgroups.com.
