Join us for a lively discussion about The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo! The Alchemist, by Brazilian author Paulo Coelho, is a famous allegorical novel about an Andalusian shepherd boy named Santiago who journeys from Spain to the Egyptian pyramids in search of treasure, discovering his "Personal Legend" and spiritual wisdom along the way. The story, originally published in Portuguese in 1988, uses the metaphor of alchemy to represent the spiritual journey of self-discovery, emphasizing themes like listening to your heart, reading omens, and following your dreams. The Senior Book Club meets every 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Joe C. Montoya Community and Senior Center from 2:00pm -3:00pm.
Join our weekly writing group to practice your writing habit!
With the use of prompts, time allotments, and group sharing, Wily Writers will learn more about their writing and support others along the way.
Constructive and positive feedback is welcome and encouraged! Our ultimate goal is to make writing more accessible and approachable for everyone at any level. You bring your writing tools and we'll bring the fun!

Celebrate the freedom to read with the Banned Book Club. In March, we're reading The Glass House by Jeannette Walls We will discuss not only the book itself, but also the concepts of free speech and censorship as we encounter them in the modern world.
Synopsis
A remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsibility of raising a family.
The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered.
