ABOUT OUR EVENTS
At The Connect Initiative, we create experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways - gently supporting mental wellbeing, easing loneliness, and building brave, compassionate communities.
Our events are intentionally simple, grounded in care, and open to all. Whether you're seeking a peaceful pause in your week or a soul-nourishing adventure, there's a space for you here.
We offer three CONNECT experiences:


1.
CONNECT WEEKLY
Our weekly signature sessions
Gentle, grounding and heart-opening.
CONNECT is where it all begins. These 60-minute sessions blend mindful movement, calming breath-work, and guided connection activities in a welcoming, non-judgmental space.
You’ll find us in parks, beaches and open spaces across Victoria, supported by a dedicated host and a rotating team of skilled facilitators (yoga, Pilates, breath-work, sound bath, Qi Gong, TaiChi, meditation and more).
Each session flows through:
10–15 mins connection activity
40 mins movement and mindfulness
5 mins gentle, supported closing activity
Afterwards, you're invited to stay for a (self-funded) coffee and casual conversation—hosted by your local CONNECT Host.
All abilities welcome. Casual tickets and discounted monthly passes available.
2.
CONNECT +
Everything you love about CONNECT - with a little more time, care and nourishment.
CONNECT+ takes the practices of our weekly sessions and adds an enriching layer of connection - shared food, beautiful locations, and spacious time to connect more deeply with yourself and others.
These events range from 90 minutes to half a day, and include meaningful extras such as:
Shared lunches in nature
Morning tea with homemade treats
Sauna or spa experiences
Quiet reflection time in peaceful surroundings
These sessions offer added value - more time, more intention, more connection.
Ideal for: Anyone craving a deeper, more immersive connection experience.




3.
CONNECT ICONIC
Unforgettable gatherings in breathtaking locations.
ICONIC events are our most expansive offerings - bringing together everything that makes CONNECT+ so special, but held in truly remarkable places.
From coastal cliffs to lush hinterlands, botanical gardens to mountain lookouts, these events are thoughtfully designed to offer a rare kind of presence, peace, and shared joy.
Expect curated activities, a powerful sense of community, and moments of beauty you’ll carry with you long after the day ends.
Held only a few times each year.
These are the events you don’t want to miss.
Ideal for: Those ready to be inspired, uplifted and truly connected - with nature, others, and self.
